Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek first gained attention in 1990 with his scrapwood cupboard designs which were meticulously made out of actual scraps of wood. He said his inspiration was a reaction against the idea of flawlessness, which is why he wanted to create an imperfect product.
Years later, he designed another "scrapwood" product. This one allowed a buyer to create Piet Hein Eek's vision of flawlessness on their own walls. This one, however, was an illusion, since it was a scrapwood design printed on rolls of wallpaper.
