The Google Earth program and the Google Maps service are so popular among modern people that they began to live their own life, independent of the Internet and computers in general. For example, a designer David Hanauer with their help creates patterns for the most authentic carpets of the "Worldwide Carpet" series.
Contemporary rugs have little to do with the classic varieties of these home decorations. Let us recall at least a prayer rug made with a ballpoint pen, or very unusual carpets from the We Make Carpets community.
So the German designer David Hanauer makes very unique and unusual carpets. After all, he takes satellite images of the Earth from Google as the basis for their pattern. Specifically, pictures of the surroundings of Los Angeles and Las Vegas (these areas look very picturesque, in his opinion).
Moreover, David Hanauer, when creating patterns for his “Worldwide Carpet” carpets, focuses precisely on the classic traditions of their creation, when there is a basic symmetrical pattern on the carpet, but there is a medallion in the very center of the product. That's just as a pattern, and as a medallion are various urban elements from satellite images from Google.
Hanauer himself says that when working on Worldwide Carpets, he does not try to create any new, unique images. Its main task is the desire to emphasize the soul of a city or a separate region, its rhythm, structure, urban progress.
David Hanauer prints carpet patterns created with the help of Google Maps on a dense fabric, on a rubber base, and also gives them to carpet workshops, so that they really can be woven there according to all the laws of carpet weaving. He sells these works mainly through his website. But sometimes these unusual carpets are made to order.

A master from Azerbaijan creates carpets, combining centuries-old traditions with elements of surrealism: Faig Ahmed
The fashion for traditional carpets in interiors has gradually faded into the past. This once prestigious attribute of Soviet-era household items has come off the walls of apartments and has long migrated to the floor, turning from an object of wealth into a residual element of a bygone era. However, thanks to the Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed, these objects, familiar to everyone, have been reborn into ultra-modern carpet weaving art objects. And already today, the creative research of the master is mastering the three-dimensional space in the leading hectares
My home is my skateboard: home for real skateboarders
In a skateboarder's dwelling, there should be no place for right angles: the original floors should smoothly merge into the walls so that you can roll along them even to the ceiling. An unusual room (either a house or a skate platform) was created by the architect François Perrin, designer Gilles Lebon Delapointe and professional skater Pierre-André Senisergue. The PAS project (according to the athlete's initials) allows you not to lose your skill and train even on the way from the couch to the sink. You can see the wonderful interior in the La Gaite Museum in Paris
Carpets are not for home. Unusual creativity from We Make Carpets
Art is meant to be enjoyed. Consider, touch, admire - but not always use it in everyday life. Unusual carpets created by the We Make Carpets art group fall into this category. You cannot put them on the floor in the house, you cannot walk on them barefoot or in slippers. They can only be admired and admired
