The Design of Carpets That Design Us bridges this rift by combining contemporary documentation with materials from an array of commercial and archival sources, asking why architects relinquished authorship of the design of carpets in their projects and so often failed to conceive of carpets that would enhance, rather than neuter, their buildings. The exhibition highlights the motivations and techniques of designers within flooring corporations and explores how big corporation design rules have taken over carpet production in alignment with branding strategies, ultimately exposing how carpets play a key role in conditioning user behaviours and transforming architectural spaces into devices for profit.
