detail


visual artist chris held of portland-based design house von tundra (oregon, USA) has created
a piece that mimics the aesthetics of a persian rug--except, in this case, on a dry-erase white board.
co-created with american artist andrew vomhof, 'persian pallet' makes use of an industrial
shipping pallet, transforming it in to an interactive art piece.
