Disqualified 'Ellen's Design Challenge' Winner Defends Himself

Tim McClellan initially won “Ellen’s Design Challenge,” but was disqualified after it was found that he may have stolen the idea for his winning piece from Swedish designer Simon Schacht. Tim was on “The Ellen DeGeneres” where he defended his piece saying he’s seen millions of pieces of furniture and, “It’s quite possible and looks as though, that piece got lodged in my memory.” Ellen supported him, though, saying “Most furniture is a derivative of something. At some point something starts it.”
