The floor — which is made of 400 individual porcelain tiles — looks like it has a giant dent in the middle, but it's actually completely level.

Even more mind-boggling, the optical illusion only works when you face the showroom's entrance. The "dent" in the floor disappears when you look at it from the opposite perspective.

3 burning questions after Google’s Pixel 2 event

Another Google event has come and gone. While we drool over hardware and dream about AI, I’m left with a few questions. And the longer I think about it, the more elusive the answers become. In no particular order, here’s what’s boggling my mind.Why would anyone, in 2017, make a flagship phone a Verizon exclusive?It’s clear Google learned nothing from Apple. Well, I mean, aside from how to poke fun at the company one year for removing the headphone jack, only to do the same thing on its flagship device a year later.

"The inspiration was to create an entrance themed on illusions and [exceed] expectations of how tiles can be used," a representative of Casa Ceramica told INSIDER in an email.

The company also commissioned local artist Myro Doodles to illustrate free-hand quotes on the walls of the entranceway from films like "Alice in Wonderland" and Tony Walsh's inspirational poem, "This is The Place," in memory of the victims of the Manchester attack in May.
