Carpets to masks

These masks are the result of a happy little accident that designer Bertjan Pot and his assistent Vladi Rapaport encountered when experimenting with carpet-making techniques.
More about them (and other work by the designer) can be found on Bertjan Pot's website.

Not completely sure why i'm so taken by this work of Brian Jungen, but somehow it speaks to me. He does a lot of great stuff with unconventional materials, like making tribal masks from Michael Jordan sneakers, or a full-scale whale skeleton of plastic garden furniture.
Brian Jungen doesn't seem to have a website but i found a bit of information in this article on ArtFixx that dates from April 2010.
spotted here.

I'm not sure whether it is in fact the most convenient staircase, but it certainly is well-designed.
