Tejo Remy & Rene Veenhuizen 'Accidental Carpet'

Unique artisan made carpet from recycled 1950s wool blankets, designed by Tejo Remy & Rene Veenhuizen in 2007, in collaboration with Dutch textile artist Tanja Smeets.

A colourful and soft carpet to oppose cold, anonymous and grey institutional environments. The first in this series of carpets was designed for epileptic children to cheer up their surroundings.

Every carpet is handmade over a week and different in shape and colour, in a design that evokes a cross-section of the brain. A bespoke piece of great contemporary design in limited production - just 17 carpets were made.

Innovative Dutch design duo Tejo Remy and Rene Veenhuizen have worked together as design partners for more than a decade. Their imaginative and internationally recognised works straddle the line between art and design. Challenging the modern trend for mass production and overconsumption, Remy and Veenhuizen's pieces are engaging objects in short supply.
