L’afrique carpet has a rich design that takes inspiration from the rich African iconography. Following the usual interpretation of Africa, the carpet presents a view of rich forests, intermingled with, and often camouflaging symbols from African iconography. Fit to brighten up an area with colors, the carpet is the work of Studio Job. The circular carpet has a width (diameter) of 350 cm (137.8 inches), and weighs upward of 60 lbs. Available at Moooi.
At the very base of German design studio Böwer‘s Wooden Carpet is a sheet of durable textile. On this sheet are arranged wooden pellets and tiles in a way that they are independent of each other, yet work together for form and function. Owing to this arrangement, the carpet can be laid flat on a floor like every carpet should be, or you could arrange it into a three dimensional form which would be interesting, although with debatable use.
Carpets are expected to be soft, and not made of bricks. This is no ordinary carpet though, the huge carpet covers 470 square meters and was presented as an installation at the Flux/S festival in Eindhoven. We Make Carpets, the creators of the carpet intend to present more designs during the Dutch Design Week.
