David Hanauer is a brilliant designer from Munich — using imagery from Google Earth to weave his creations. Persian rugs meet cityscapes with his “worldwide carpets” — showing ariel views of Los Angeles and New York in mezmorizing patterns. Here’s David in his own words:
“The project shows different patterns for a carpet / carpeted floor. It is about identity, new patterns, Google, architecture. It reflects a new identity of products as well as humans and the interaction between them. Comparing to Persian carpets of former times, “worldwide carpets” interprets ornaments from these times into the 21st century. The pattern represents a photograph which is built with the help of screenshots in Google Earth. It shows landscapes from a bird’s eye view.” – read more
