More Marvelous Monster Skin Rugs!

A few weeks ago I shared with you a wonderful felt monster skin rug by Joshua Ben Longo of Longoland. Now, I've got some furry friends to keep him company created by The Monster Workshop's Stitches and Glue.



Handmade from luxuriously super soft faux fur with a faux suede underneath (making it less hard wearing on surfaces) this rug measures 30" by 40" and the head is delightfully stuffed for a pillow-like effect.



Each rug is carefully hand crafted, with close attention to detail. The facial features are hand painted and treated with a protective seal. Each claw is hand cast with a cushioned paw.




Please Note: these are NOT toys and are NOT suitable for young children (because it would scare the beejezus out of them). $350.00 USD, Buy the Genuine Monster Skin Rug shown above here at The Odd Luminary

Attention Pop Art lovers, now you can add a little Lichtenstein to your home with this fabulous pop art carpeting and a limited edition sculpture from the famed Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein.

Object: Carpeting
printed nylon
14’ minimum width
Retail Price: $18 / square foot
Description: This carpet design by Roy Lichtenstein is available as wall-to-wall carpeting or bound as a custom-sized area rug with black trim. The nylon makes it perfect for high-traffic areas or kids’ play rooms.

Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. A 50% deposit is required to place an order.

In addition to the rug, for serious art collector's, they are also selling this wonderful original Roy Lichtenstein porcelain and cast resin mobile sculpture in a limited edition of 125.






With Landscape Mobile, Roy Lichstenstein has designed a beautiful "art system" as a table centerpiece. Invoking Alexander Calder's standing mobiles, Lichtenstein termed this piece a "stabile". It is in fact a non-moving object representing a tall tree set in a green basin intended to be filled with flowers. To create a sense of moveable, balancing parts, Lichtenstein added an abstracted background of clouds, rain and a bright yellow sun. This porcelain and cast resin stabile can be viewed from all four sides, and its thin profile makes it an ideal and unobstrusive centerpiece.

Manufactured by Bernardaud in Limoges, France. The edition of 125 is individually signed and numbered.

Limited Edition Hemp and Rag Doll Rug By Estudio Campana

Made in a limited edition of 10 pieces, the Circus rug for Nodus Rugs is a wild blend of rag dolls and hemp.



Simultaneously creepy and cool, the modern rug was designed by the Campana Brothers who often use dolls in their work such as this similar chandelier for Venini as part of their Esperança Collection:

and the Multidao Chair they created in 2002:


The hand-knotted rug is crafted in Nepal and is a 200cm irregular circle. The 3cm deep pile is a moss green and the rag dolls are embedded in the area rug as if reclining on a patch of grass.

The Circus rug must be special ordered and takes three months to deliver.
