Fanions rug by BKS

The Fanions rug which was shown at young talents competition [D3] CONTEST at imm cologne plays with an optical illusion.

'ff1' or 'fox and freeze1' by James van Vossel and Tom de Vrieze

The newly founded Belgian design studio fox and freeze started by James van Vossel and Tom de Vrieze on October 2009 recently presented their first project.
