Hybrid Rugs

Rugs always represented a piece of somebody’s home and the themes depicted on them were people’s way to recreate their surroundings through their tradition. The rugs presented explore classic carpets’ themes of western & eastern culture in a new genre predicting our hybrid future. The Hybrid project originates through a research on the history of porcelain and its’ centuries of cross-fertilisation between Western and Eastern aesthetics. Getting deeper and deeper in our research we realized that this was a phenomenon that was expressed in diverse fields of cultural expressions and rug design was an important one throughout modern history.
