Patchwork is a technique of cutting and sewing small pieces of fabric creating larger textiles. However, the idea of joining diverse fabrics together and creating completely new designs, has not only inspired quilters and textile artists but also furniture designers. These are some of the most interesting examples that apply the philosophy of patchwork into furniture making.
- Commode by Entwurf-Direkt. According to the creators the design of these objects is basically an antidesign as its respective shape is a result of putting together the findings as they come along. This can be compared to a remix done with pieces of music or else a collage as found in the arts. Each piece of furniture is a unique specimen, as they depend on the findings that are not available in unlimited numbers.
- Patchwork table by Schleeh Design. The table consists of chromed solid steel frame with patchwork of exotic woods.
- Sleek Recyclo Bowl by Schleeh Design. The technique calls for small, disparate pieces to be arranged into a mosaic with the aid of mirrors, which allow one to see the completed design before the actual contsruction.

- Solid multi-wood "Nita" dresser by Tunico T. for EcoFirstArt. Tunico T finds his raw materials in the surrounding "Cerrado" the largest savannah region in South America. For over thirty years, Tunico T. has scrupulously enforced that neither he nor his trackers cut down living wood. Instead, he extends the life of expired Brazilian hardwoods, fallen or sawn long ago, and transports their beauty into the indoors. Each piece begins as material that is meticulously selected by hand and evolves into a creation of equally meticulous hand craftsmanship.
- Gonzo console / Designer: Thomas Bina. A magnificent mix of reclaimed Brazilian peroba, walnut and matte black steel puts this console center stage in any room. Not just another pretty patchwork, the extra-long console has organizational skills, with four drawers and four doors ready to sort and store in style.
