DONUT RUG

LARGE DONUT RUG

Juli Foos, FIN, 2012

White plastic bags, shaped into 201 “Donuts“ using cardboard discs. Fat Donuts, all the same size. Soft and pleasant for the feet. All of them woven together with strips of colourful plastic, red, blue, green, yellow – in clear geometrical shapes. Almost oriental. And if needed, easy to repair.
