DIYable: jigsaw puzzle piece furniture

hmmm i spy a potential DIY project in the works…

furniture designer Rupert Mckelvie refastens jigsaw puzzle pieces in a new way, and instead of placing them in the “correct” way, he puts them together in his own style – making awesome furniture.  the work is titled Missing Pieces and features a table and a lamp.

the table is made of 4800 jigsaw pieces in total – taken from a compilation of different puzzles: Winnie the Pooh, A Night Sky, the Taj Mahal and the Arc de Triomphe.  everyone knows that annoying feeling when you realize your puzzle cannot be completed because of one stupid missing piece – so Rupert decided to do something about it! he only uses puzzles with missing pieces to complete his projects.

DIY this by just gluing layers of puzzle pieces on a table, lamp, etc!

    This is amazing! It bet it took alot more time to put this together than it would putting the pieces together in the ‘correct’ way. What a wonderful recycling idea! gnomeworkspuzzles.com
