Optical Illusion-Enhanced Rugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The YO2 Rugs Come in Three Sophisticated and Mind-Bending Styles

— May 24, 2021 — Art & Design
The YO2 Rugs, designed by Alain Gilles, have integrated optical illusion patterns that add character and dimension to any interior. The rugs come in three distinct styles that have their own unique looks. The 'Hole' style has a crosshatched pattern interrupted by a three-dimensional tube that produces a warped sinking effect within the rug. The 'Mosaique' style features a pixellated pattern punctuated by colorful accents. The 'Stacked-Up' style showcases a visually deceiving stack of corrugated steel over a neutral background.

The intriguing designs of the YO2 Rugs have a contemporary quality that blurs the line between form and function. Each style comes in multiple colorways to match a variety of interiors. The YO2 Rugs can be set up as standard rugs or hung up on walls as dimensional decorations.
