Something about these brightly-colored poof balls is deliciously simple and richly complex all at the same time – they look spontaneous and accidental versus a more typical well-planned design.

MYK Berlin tapped into some childhood impulse to create this series of non-standard furnishings, and staged them well with little leavings all around (which would, in reality, make for even more fun, or at least handy replacement parts).

“The ” Bommel” also known as Pompon is crafted entirely by hand. Several hundred wool threads are bundled, rolled ,tied, and cut, all of carefully selected high-end quality wool. There are up to 1300 woollen pompons and respectively up to 45 kg of wool forming one single object.”

View From Above: Topography-Inspired Handmade Rugs

The view of Earth’s landscape from above, such as you see from the window of an airplane, is a truly inspiring sight. It is a sight that inspired Liz Eeuwes to create these delightful handmade rugs.

The Glasgow-based designer was inspired by aerial views of Scottish landscapes and Balinese rice paddies, an inspiration that is evident in the orderly shapes and flowing chaos, respectively.

Each rug is handmade from colorful New Zealand wool. Their exuberantly colored blocks and swirls would be perfectly at home in any room, but would be especially wonderful in a library or office with a map theme.
