Unobtainable objects
by Jacques Carelman1929 - 2012
Carelman’s work is inspired by the "useless machines" of Bruno Munari, Magic Alex’s Nothing Box, and contraptions of Rube Goldberg and W. Heath Robinson.
It’s not objects that lack function, but rather lack design, that Carelman makes fun of:
Impossible Objects: Siamese Hammers
Impossible Objects: Curved Ping Pong table
