Artist Kirill Rozhkov created a collection of illustrations based on H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu mythology which were implemented in a new line of rugs entitled “Dark Water” produced by Danish carpet company EGE.

It’s a shag carpet that is neither carpet nor shag. Discuss.
Actually, it’s more of a floor mat with the print of a shag carpet on it. Urban Outfitters has a whole line of these Trompe L’Oeil mats that include looks like whitewashed wood, distressed wood, brick, bamboo and stone.
If you don’t own your house outright, a house and an apartment can appear pretty much the same: you spend a small fortune every month that allows you to keep living there, and if you stop the flow of cash for any reason, you’re out on your ass. Chances are both will offer the same lack of privacy as well, especially since they’ve decided to build newer subdivisions with a cool 6 feet of space between you and your neighbor. It seems the most significant difference is that living in an apartment allows you to use this snazzy rug. Makes the apartment more appealing, doesn’t it? An additional design is pictured after the break.
Artist Dan Golden believes that art does not have to be confined to the walls alone, so he teamed up with an interior designer to create a line of playful yet “sophisticated” works integrated into luxurious New Zealand wool carpets. This particular version forces you to choose between the ordinary and the extraordinary—but there are several amusing designs to choose from. One of my other favorites is pictured after the break.
If the Hamburglar could afford to buy a rug, this cheeseburger-shaped version would certainly be the one he would choose. Unfortunately, stealing burgers from children does not generate much income, so the Hamburglar is forced to live on the street—freebasing condiments to get a quick fix. Tragic.

Apparently, RoadKillRugs is an operation based out of Colorado that employs “several dozen people” to make rugs that resemble skunks and cats mowed down on the highway. Amazingly enough, they are not taking new orders at the moment due to a backlog. If this is a real product and that is true, God bless America.

These are definitely the coolest rugs I have seen. The detail is amazing, especially considering they are rugs. If it weren’t for the exorbitant prices, they would be great for a kid’s room. But at these prices, using them in a formal living room would be about the only choice.
