“One of the projects on show at IDW is ‘sand carpets’ by the dutch studio muurbloem. A 2010 winner of the dutch design awards, the spatial design utilizes one of the first materials people used to create images – sand. To execute the patterns, a PVC tube is perforated and filled with the granular substance. To facilitate the work, the roller is fitted with a handle. These whimsical floor coverings do not last long however, a day at most in public spaces, but their ephemeral character lends a particular aesthetic quality. It is probably one of the simplest ways imaginable to formally decorate just about any place imaginable.” w/ photos
