"People Move but Houses Stay. What did the Wallpaper See?"

Nienke Sybrandy is a Dutch designer whose design works are inspired by basic items often overlooked and houses that have a story to tell if you listen hard enough.
Tablecloth
Instead of traditionally presenting new home owners with a damask tablecloth, how about giving a table cloth with the house's construction drawing.....and check out these drapes which take the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) "a computer language invented in times we could not send our pictures by pixels" and use it to form a beautiful tree silhouette.

I love vintage books and find that the pictures and the text are so interesting and often amusing! When we look back to the past it puts a different perspective on the present!

I think this is such a good idea. How lovely to have a table cloth that is also a conversation piece!
