Furniture ornament

A furniture ornament having a unique visual effect, comprising:

• a plurality of spaced-apart and parallel planar sheets of rigid transparent material having a topmost sheet and a bottom most sheet, the sheets containing thereon two-dimensional designs, said two-dimensional designs including repeating patterns, said two-dimensional designs forming a composite design when the sheets are observed in a line of sight, said composite design appearing to be three-dimensional,
• the two-dimensional designs on all the sheets being visually superimposed on one another when viewing the furniture ornament perpendicular to the sheets,
• when viewing a bottommost sheet from an angle from below or a topmost sheet from angle from above the furniture ornament, only the portion of the full design of each sheet being visually superimposed on the two-dimensional designs of the other sheets, said portion representing a decreasing proportion of the full design the further the full design is from the observer,
• a plurality of linear substantially parallel connectors running from the bottommost sheet to the topmost sheet and including means for attaching to the sheets and maintaining the sheets in spaced-apart parallel relation to one another and including means for attaching the connectors to a ceiling, floor, wall, door or other fixed part of a structure.

A light fixture having a unique visual effect, comprising:

• a plurality of spaced-apart and parallel planar sheets of rigid transparent material having an uppermost sheet and a bottommost sheet, the sheets containing thereon two-dimensional designs, said two-dimensional designs including repeating patterns, said two-dimensional designs forming a composite design when the sheets are observed in a line of sight, said composite design appearing to be three-dimensional,
• a light source between the uppermost sheet and a ceiling,
• the designs on all the sheets being visually superimposed on one another when viewing the light fixture substantially perpendicular to the sheets from below the bottommost sheet,
• when viewing the light fixture at an angle from below the bottommost sheet, only a portion of a full design of each sheet being visually superimposed on the two-dimensional designs of the other sheets, said portion representing a decreasing proportion of the full design the further the full design is from the observer, and
• a plurality of linear substantially parallel connectors running from the bottommost sheet to the topmost sheet and including means for attaching to the sheets and maintaining the sheets in spaced-apart parallel relation to one another and including structure for attaching the connectors to a support.
