Tread softly because you tread on my...hand-woven rug

Computers really have taken over the world. They're even dominating the world of design. Pixels have long been a central part of modern (often ironic) design and from the minute that Blik created their infamous Space Invader wall stickers, copies have been popping up all over the place. The Portuguese Piodao Group have come up with an interesting take on the idea, in the somewhat unlikely form of a hand-tufted rug. The company has been making artisan textiles in Portugal since 1992 and have started to make a real name for themselves in the design world. Their "Pixel" rug would brighten any room. From there it's clear that it's but a short hop, skip and a jump to a rug that looks like pebbles.
