Created for Baurwerk Parquet, the Old News Parquet Flooring was designed by Swiss designer Virginia Maissen. Appropriately part of the Vintage Bauwerk collection, the board tiles are made out of natural oak strips. Each one features a different print, which can be combined to create as many as 2,047 unique designs. Now that's some impressive customization.
