Richard Woods rug is an interesting piece from Woods exploration of using traditional printmaking techniques to repeat hyper-real graphic interpretations of building materials. When Woods uses these methods, he pieces them together and creates sections of existing architectural coverings. His pieces include either panels of wooden flooring, wallpapers, or brick walls, and are always functional and imitations of the subjects they sit atop. The Wood Rug for Established & Sons echoes Richard Woods’ design aesthetic and practice with a iconic wood-like design on a woven rug than can be appreciated in both home and work environments.

Inspired by wood flooring, wallpapers and brick walls, his pieces are functional and capable looking just like the real thing. As works of art they are designed to be used. Wood Rug functions in that way.
