101Karakters

I came across this creative collaboration on a favourite blog of mine, Bloesem. Paint and diy company Histor organised a competition in the Netherlands called 101Karakters. The brief was to customise a cabinet designed by Piet Hein Eek, and they had 2000 entires! 

The chosen 101 designers were invited to Piet Hein's workshop to bring these designs to life. What a great idea! The cabinet itself is beautifully proportioned and full of character, but with the addition of the individual designer's artwork these pieces of furniture take on a new personality.

It makes me want to get painting, I wonder what I would have submitted! Here are some images, I'm sure more will be available to see here shortly, see what you think.
