LANDCARPET | Florian Pucher

LANDCARPET is a modern area rug, inspired by nature and farmed landscapes. It shows the world from straight above, as we usally see it only out of the window of a plane.

A fascinating landscape image, a satellite-like aerial view to touch, LANDCARPET is a piece of nature in your apartment.

As each country deals with landscape and farming in a different way LANDCARPET comes in various series, each of them representing a different continent or country. Europe is held in warm green and brown colours, USA comes in a very fresh green colours, Africa in a series or earthen tones and Netherlands as a colourful array of flower fields.

The stylized fields are of different height and let LANDCARPET appear like a miniaturized landscape.
