adding new ones. Odyssey is a double sided magnetic rug collection which threads between the belongings
you have collected through life.

Exhibit Design
Desire paths are a shortcut to a destination but can be applied
more broadly to any signs or traces of user activity with an object or
environment. The implicit claim of desire paths is that they are an
indication of how an object or environment is actually used by people.
The rugs allow you to create your own desire path around your
belongings.
The shapes signify life (circle), growth (elongated circle) and the unexpected moments (pointed
circle) in our life experiences and the desaturated colours have been derived by studying their
emotive value. The desaturation signifies hardships that occur in life.
The woven patterns have been inspired from life experiences.
1. The intersecting pattern is about how everything that happens in our life is interconnected.
2. The nature pattern is a reminder of how we learn and grow from nature.
3. The illusion prints signify how we get caught up in believing stereotypes which in reality
are not true but are illusions that a society creates.
