Missing Pieces Collection by Rupert McKelvie

UK designer Rupert McKelvie has created the Missing Pieces furniture collection that utlizes 4800 jigsaw puzzle pieces as a decoration.

“Jigsaw sets were something many of us grew up playing with, including myself. I was all too aware of the frustration of nearing the end and realising there were ‘missing pieces’. It became something that would never see completion. Left to gather dust in the attic, amongst all other things discarded and lost in time. The virtual world of computer games, in which everything is ever more rapid and instantaneous has taken over. The patience and tangibility are lost and with it, so is the interaction with others.

This is why, I have decided to put together a collection of furniture that will use these neglected games, these incomplete puzzles, to create something new and complete.

The table is made up of 4800 pieces. A compilation of the Arc de Triomphe, Winnie the Pooh, a night sky and the Taj Mahal.”
