Designer Elisa Strozyk is rethinking the way we perceive wood as flooring. Strozyk has created a series of textiles made out of laser or hand cut geometric wood pieces, which are then attached to a textile base by hand.

Strozyk came up with the idea when working with pieces of scrap in her school’s wood shop. The use of wood in the product creates a new tactile experience, and forces designers and consumers to rethink the materials traditionally used.

The wooden carpet can lie flat on the floor and walked upon, or be manipulated into various 3D shapes.
