In a completely new direction for her work, Bergmans has created Illusion I, tables with patterns through movement. An investigation into lines and shapes, she has revisited this exploration culminating into delicate drawings. Printed surfaces with depth and 3-dimensional patterns, allude into a different view.

Pieke Bergmans designed two pairs of wooden tables developing a special constructive method, really precisely, in order to match printed images from all sides.

Illusion II is a series of tables with printed images. Jaap Vliegenthart, a well-known Dutch photographer that plays with different perspectives, took these images by flying in between the big high scrapers in New York City with a helicopter, offering a different point of view. The hundreds of windows become lines that fade in and fade out. Its like flying in between an abstract modernistic painting. By printing these images onto an ordinary object like a table, it creates a new perspective. Lines flow from table top to sides. Illusion has been showed during the Dutch Design Week 2013.
