This June for the IKEA Art Event 2019, IKEA launched a limited edition collection of eight handmade art rugs by eight artist, including a fabulous fuzzy creation by Misaki Kawai. The company continues their quest to make great art accessible to everyone. According to the company:
The fifth IKEA Art Event is a short-term collection that mashes-up tapestry art, rug handicraft, avant-garde fashion, street culture and modern design. Eight leading creative figures have each designed a contemporary IKEA rug. These unique, ‘woven artworks’ are made for the everyday home. Yet they might also look at home in the art gallery. All in wool or other natural materials, only one of the rugs is machine-woven. Craftspeople in India and Egypt handmade the others, vividly bringing to life the creators’ visions.
Artists include: Chiaozza, Craig Green, Filip Pagowski, Misaki Kawai, Noah Lyon, Seeulgi Lee, Supakitch, Virgil Abloh
