Scream Rug

The Scream Rug has been designed by Calle Henzel for the Swedish company, a-carpet, who seem single-handedly intent on bring us more interesting floor coverings.

The Scream Rug features the black outline of a screaming woman, which looks to me to be based on the image of Janet Leigh in the infamous shower scene in Psycho. Although the image is potentially disturbing, like Hitchcock’s heroines, it still maintains a certain glamour.

The rug is made from 100% hand-tufted New Zealand wool and costs £2,428 from Funktion Alley.
