Painting-Inspired Rugs

This Decorative Rug is Designed Based on a Work from Artist Eddie Martinez

— July 10, 2016 — Art & Design
Case Studyo -- "a publisher and producer of artworks by contemporary artists" -- has added to its collection by translating a famous work by Brooklyn-based artist Eddie Martinez into the medium of a decorative rug.

The piece was created using a careful handwoven technique that allows it to stay true to the intricacies on Eddie Martinez's original. The company worked alongside the artist to ensure that consumers would be offered the best product possible as well, with each rug coming with a signed certificate from the artist to validate it.

Measuring in at approximately 83 inches by 55 inches, the Eddie Martinez rug can be put up on a wall as a tapestry or laid flat on the floor -- as long as its buyer is careful not to spill.
