Area rugs as art
I came across these rugs while browsing Eco Chic an Australian online eco friendly furniture and homewares store.
The rugs are made from renewable sources and are a collaboration between Australian indigenous artists and craftspeople from the remote Himalayan region of Kashmir. As with all Aboriginal art, each painting tells a story and is unique to the particular region of the artist.
If only the rugs were a little larger I would have purchased the Kathy Maringka rug for my living room in a heartbeat. They would made a great statement rug in a room. Art for the floor.
