Rebel Rauser

While the intricacies of handmade floor coverings have been around for centuries, the Texas based design firm Rauser is changing the game with their “Redeploy Rug”.

Designed by Rebekah Rauser, the 100% wool creation takes its inspiration from Russian army blankets: the pattern is hand stitched and the tubular design is then stuffed with wool-blend army surplus blankets. A commentary on the times? Perhaps. A beautiful design with a unique concept and organic materials – we think so!

Rauser’s rug was also just featured in the final round of Apartment Therapy’s 2009 Design Showcase.
