  • Dutch design company Ixxi has chosen patterns by William Morris, hand-painted Chinese wallpapers and textiles from the 1853 exhibition "False Principles of Design" for a line of wall decoration posters. Using Ixxi's proprietary design system, each image is broken up into individual squares that can then be joined together using plastic connectors to make up the poster.
