Road Kill Carpet

Posted by tb4



So I know this is an indoor carpet and all but I want to throw this out on my front porch for Halloween, it would be do perfect. The Road Kill carpet designed by the design group OOOMS based in the Netherlands.

"Do you know the feeling that you do not want to take a look at something, but you still do? The Road Kill carpet is a continues struggle between attraction and repulsion. It’s a warm, soft, cuddly carpet that attracts you to take a nap on it, but at the same time it's a repulsive image of a car-flattened, bloody fox."
Studio OOOMS is run by Guido Ooms and Karin van Lieshout. Guido Ooms graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2000. After working as a freelance designer at different companies he started his own studio. Next to running the studio he also teaches design at the School of Arts in Utrecht. Karin van Lieshout graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2001. She has a degree in teaching and worked in various designcollectives before she joined forces with Guido.
