A Greek wine cup, also known as a kylix and dating back to the fifth century, contains an image of a statue of a warrior within a scaffolding. But in some parts of Asia, scaffolding is made of bamboo and is even used when building very tall skyscrapers. Until the 20 th century, scaffolding was made mainly of wood. However, shortages in the supply of wood in various regions prompted manufacturers to look for other sources. de Vigier is credited with designing an adjustable steel prop that revolutionized scaffolding designs all over the world. The most famous scaffold designer in history is probably Michelangelo, the great painter, sculptor, and architect. The scaffold that he had designed to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is a conversation piece in itself.
