Can You Tell Which Country Each of These Carpets Represents?
Do you love flying? Do you have every item on this list of travel essentials? Do you need to have the window seat so you can look down at the gorgeous patterns that your special aerial view gives you? Would you like to create that same effect every time you walk through your living room? Now you can with artist Florian Pucher‘s latest collection, which turns satellite photography into beautiful floor coverings.
Pucher, winner of Elle Deco International Design Awards Best Floor Covering Design, dubs his creation “Landcarpets.” Each one is hand-tufted of New Zealand wool, taking as long as four weeks to create.
