Ripening Rugs --- The gradual erosion is what keeps these carpets interesting to look at over the years and even increases their aesthetic value.(2015)
The process of wear is still not something designers calculate or users wish for in most products people use today.
This series of rugs has been conceived to come to life through intensive use, converting the negatively charged process of wear into something pleasant. As the textile structure wears out through use, the yarns start to reveal an underlying color, pattern or texture.

By working closely with different companies and professionals including Textielmuseum Tilburg, Netherlands and CS rugs, I was able to develop my own techniques, such as a custom yarn with transformative capability, and apply them in this take on consumerism.
