Cable rug / tapestry
2018
Cable rugs were originally created as part of a set-up for an event by Milanese fashion brand MSGM and Hercules Universal Magazine at Salone del Mobile 2018. The rugs, functioning as extension cables, were later extended into a small product range and showcased with design galleries in Zürich and New York and also served for Affix Studio’s pop-up design at Dover Street Market Los Angeles.
In 2020 the biggest one of these so far was privately commissioned for a London residence - at a weight of 100kg, 900 metres of black cable is tied together with over 4000 clips to cover a 220cm x 330cm surface, while still transporting current from one end of the room to another.
In 2022 Zuriga comissioned a custom piece for their flagship store in Munich. 700m of rubberised wire normally used in their coffee machines is woven into an electronically conducting wall tapestry. Each connection point is highlighted with a dimmable LED.
