Dutch artist duo We Make Carpets recently presented a huge, immersive carpet installation for “Kneeling,” their piece for the Salon del Mobile 2015 in Milan, which took place in mid April. We Make Carpets collect ephemeral, throwaway items like cone-shaped party hats and dish sponges and arrange them into elaborate patterns inspired by Middle Eastern carpet-making traditions. Their colorful works were laid out on the floor at the Salon horizontally rather than hung up on a wall like in a typical gallery, encouraging viewers to circle around the installation to get the full effect.

Creative Crush: We Make Carpets
Some people say less is more - but sometimes, we like to think MORE is more. Here's why: repetition in design can create a stunning effect for the viewer.
One of our favorite projects that we did involving repetition in design is the Mini Mount Rushmore wall at Teddy. Believe it or not, this wall all began with a 3D printer. How we did it: we created an image, 3D printed the image, made a rubber mold from the 3D printed model, and then poured plaster into the mold over and over! We then mounted all of the Mini Mount Rushmores on the wall, filling in all of the gaps to match.

Through the close up photos, the viewer is able to get a sense of the time and patience that went into placing each specific piece in it's specific spot.

What's even more amazing than installing these stunning carpets... must be taking them apart.

Visti da lontano sembrano normali tappeti, ma uno sguardo da vicino rivela tutt'altro!
Visti da lontano sembrano normali tappeti, ma uno sguardo da vicino rivela tutt’altro!
Non è difficile immaginare cosa producano tre designer olandesi la cui azienda si chiama We Make Carpets (Facciamo tappeti). Fedeli al proprio nome, Marcia Nolte, Stijn van der Vleuten e Bob Waardenburg creano tappeti, ma non sono del tipo che stai pensando. Mescolando il tradizionale e oggetti di tutti giorni in un concept con una vaga nota critica sulla società del consumismo, il gruppo crea…

We’re revisiting the work of We Make Carpets because, well, they’ve been up to a lot lately! My favorite recent installation of their now famous non-textile carpet installations is this giant one made from plastic utensils, cups and containers.
