rug'n'roll by semiha kan from turkey

“rug'n'roll” is a green design that is made from different size and colors of used carpets.

As is known, our earth becomes more dirty and old day by day. One of the reasons is used carpet. Used carpet and rugs generated nationwide amounted to around 2.6 million tons, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste. However, used carpets and rugs aren't recycled; they will go into the general waste containers and stay along years. Nowadays recycling is the important issue and there are good developments in some sectors such as packaging, plastics, paper, etc. but there isn't any serious shot for recycling of the carpets in the world.

“If we don't recycle, we can reuse them”.

They may be used as a component to produce other products such as furniture. Carpet is a perfect and the most suitable material for using to design furniture because it is soft, usability and functional material. I designed an armchair that is called Rug'n'Roll. We don't use any extra connective without two rope and different size of rugs. You can dismount whenever you want. The major advantage of carpet is washable and so it is quite hygienic for you and your family. The most important issue you can easily make your product yourself with old carpets help with just 2 rope.
