Flat Surgery is a collection of rugs that will teach you everything you didn't want to know about your digestive tract, brain, and genitalia. Artist Mathieu Lehanneur designed the rugs and even has plans for each of the Flat Surgery rugs: The digestive tract is apparently intended for the kitchen. The brain rug is supposed to be used in your office. And, finally, the genitalia rug is meant for the bedroom.
