Plastic by Emeli Höcks

Sweden

Sweden

My carpet Plastic is the outcome of a plastic bag found on the street. The plastic is processed with heat into a pattern. The aim is to give waste material a future existence. It´s still placed on the ground but in a new way with a higher value.
Min matta Plastic är resultatet av en plastpåse funnen på gatan, bearbetad för att bilda ett mönster med syfte att ge det förbrukade materialet en framtida existens. Den ligger fortfarande på marken men i en ny skepnad med ett högre värde.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
