Elize Strozyk's wooden rugs/ carpets/flooring.
"The potential of the "wooden carpet" is its flexibility. It can be rolled up and transported easily. The carpet's ability to move implements a potential of change. It can be laid flat on the ground, but also sculptured in a dramatic way, or shaped up the wall" Elize Strozyk
Redefining our ideas about what wood is its texture its weight and qualities, Eliza Strozky has reinvented this amazingly versatile material further into a textile formed of repeated geometric shapes. "Wooden Textiles" is a material that is half wood- half textile, between hard and soft, challenging what can be expected from a material or category. It looks and smells familiar but feels strange, as it is able to move and form in unexpected ways.
A bliss of design, Ernesto Neto is a contemporary Brazilian artist who creates large installations of large, soft, biomorphic structures that visitors can walk amongst, touch or sometimes sit in. They are generally made of a white stretchy stocking like fabric and filled with Styrofoam although sometimes they are filled with aromatic spices. Photographs by Jacob Langvad Nilsson.
