These Personality-Packed Rugs Aren’t Your Ordinary Floor Coverings

I did­n’t intend to take such a long break from writ­ing here… but here we are, and now I’m back! Today I’m shar­ing the work of Ina G. Dyre­borg, a tex­tile artist who cre­ates giant tuft­ed rugs that are packed with per­son­al­i­ty. My favorite pieces revolve around her human and ani­mal char­ac­ters with their bright hues as well as dis­tinct fea­tures and expressions.

“I start­ed my car­pet jour­ney in 2013 when I want­ed a rug but could­n’t find any­thing that was right for me, and after a long search the idea of ​​cre­at­ing it myself began to man­i­fest itself,” she writes on her web­site. “Then I start­ed look­ing for ways to make rugs and it was the Danel­la nee­dle, a small hand­held tool, that helped start my jour­ney as a tex­tile artist.” Con­tin­u­ing, “For me, it was impor­tant from the start that the rugs should be more than a car­pet, it should inspire and make you want to explore the tactile.”

Ina sells her work on her web­site. Fol­low her on Insta­gram to see what she’s up to next.
