Inspired by the famous 16th century painting by Pieter Bruegel, this piece of furniture is pretty innovative and cool actually. When assembled, it serves as a personal space to gather one’s things and thoughts. When taken apart – as with the original Tower of Babel – it collapses into a flat pack. Oh, and did we mention invisible magnetic screws are involved? Continue reading →
