Unique Wool Rugs That Bring Moss And Meadows Into Your Home
98Kviews
Alexandra Kehayoglou was born into Argentina’s first family of rugmakers. The 34-year-old artist started making unique, moss-like carpets after finishing art school in 2008. Kehayoglou uses scraps and threads from her family’s Buenos Aires factory, taking up to two months to create one piece; some even resemble paintings.
“I grew up surrounded by rugs,” Kehayoglou told Instagram. “I realized that the knowledge of rugs I had was in my genes. Using it as an artist became inevitable. The style that I’ve created is an abstraction of landscapes from my country. I would like everyone that looks at my pieces to feel that they are entering a new context. The pieces are big and feel infinite. They are meant to be portals that have the power of taking you where your memories are.”

Very beautiful, but difficult to keep clean, I suppose.
i´m pretty sure about this! and if you have a cat like me - she would like to pull the threads out of the carpet or vormit it. -_- so, if i ever have a carpet like this, i´ll have no pet. :)
Finally, someone who understands the cat/rug conundrum. Thank you!
OMG THIS IS SOOOO AMAZING!!! I very like forests and this carpet is FANTASTIC!!!
