Collection: Paper Crush Rugs by Umut Yamac | MOOOI

The Crush Collection by Moooi Carpets, conceived by British architect and designer Umut Yamac, exemplifies the fusion of art and design. Drawing inspiration from the delicate nature of paper, this collection transforms simple material into expansive, visually immersive surfaces that redefine interior spaces.​

Design Philosophy

Yamac's approach to the Crush Collection began with the manipulation of paper—folding, twisting, and contorting single sheets by hand. This process explores ethereal landscapes within the confines of a single sheet, challenging perceptions of scale and materiality. The resulting designs capture the transient beauty of paper in motion, offering a unique aesthetic that is both familiar and innovative.
