It refers to a wood patch or filler used to repair damaged or missing areas in a wooden product. In this case, the [wooden joint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-concept) has been repurposed into a [wall-mounted organizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage), which has been appropriately dubbed The Dutchman. Designed by North Carolina-based The Wood Studio, The Dutchman is made up of a long ledge that secures to the wall and a number of 'dutchman' pieces that slot into the ledge. These individual wedges have been notched in order to better hold objects such as keys and smartphones.
