The Spin modular rug by Paola Lenti has great graphic and textural character. The swirls and leaves are made from a two-color wool braid (available in seven color combinations), which are sewn together and can be produced in custom sizes (standard size is 52″ x 117″).
The Crochet Rug designed by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto for Paola Lenti is completely handmade and custom, available in rope yarn for outdoor use and wool for indoor use. The leaves and flowers are crocheted by hand, then sewed to a synthetic net backing. You can choose from 16 different color options to use to create a solid hue, or mix several for a custom and more colorful arrangement to match any color scheme.
The Spin and Crochet rugs would look amazing applied on walls and ceilings as well (may need to be flame/stain treated for Commercial applications), and would be a great acoustic solution. Custom items such as these always leave plenty of room for creativity- I would play with overall layout and orientation, such as adjusting standard shape from rectangular to wave, diamond, and circular shapes. There are too many possibilities to list!

I love these. Reminds me of the grass rugs that are made in Jamaica and sold on the road side. Ms. Urquiola’s interpretation is more graphic. Gorgeous!
