Pixelated patterns have become a chic retro aesthetic for interiors, and the 'Hey! A LEGO Table' DIY project creates quite the polished product.
Assembled on a sturdy piece of IKEA furniture, this low-resolution veneer was quite the mathematical challenge. Designed by Quentin T, 'Hey! A LEGO Table' used 576 toy blocks in white, gray and black, and required the help of a PalletteCounter app to figure out how many bricks would be needed in each shade.
