‘Cut it Out’ is a collection of customizable rugs by Ralph Marina. The area carpets are made of 100% wool felt have been designed with a variety of perforated holes.
However, these graphic perforations are not purely for decorative purposes. The lines allow you to cut your rug into a new shape should your space requirement change or you simply want to transform your floor covering from a rectangle to an ellipse.
Each ‘Cut it Out’ felt rug starts off measuring 160cm x 85cm and is a cushy 5mm think. Room-sized versions would be fabulous.
