Inspired by his decorative woven wall art, Ethan Cook's Flat Works is a series of handwoven kelim rugs designed for HAY. Featuring a geometric abstract design, the rugs translate the designer's bold colour-blocked artwork into practical and decorative items. Crafted in a New Zealand wool-cotton blend, the dyeing and weaving processes mean that each rug varies slightly, giving them a unique, one-of-a-kind quality. Available in different sizes and colour combinations, the rugs are suitable for use in the bedroom, hallway, living room and many other interior spaces.

Best known for his abstract woven art with bold color compositions, Ethan Cook’s minimalist works are a study of structural simplicity.
