Art-Adapted Carpet Decor

These Printed Silk Rugs Mimic Painted Art Pieces

— November 12, 2014 — Art & Design
Sabine de Gunzburg creates printed silk rugs that are patterned after painted art pieces. The former interior designer conceived her carpets on a trip to India where she joined forces with a silk craftsman who was able to bring her custom designs to life before her eyes.

Before her venture, Sabine struggled to find rugs that were large or personal enough for her design projects and thought her own carpet creations may solve the re-occurring problem. The result is a successful creative venture that features the designer’s personalized prints along with those that are conceived by artists all over the globe.

These printed silk rugs are adapted from painted art pieces and are modeled after complex drawings, free-hand illustrations and even painted canvases.
