Alexandra Kehayoglou uses scraps of leftover thread from her family's carpet factory in Buenos Aires to create handmade wool rugs that look like dreamy aerial landscapes. Her laborious hand-tufting process creates carpets and rugs that mimic natural textures like moss, water, trees and pastures. They can turn an entire room into a lush meadow or they can work as a tapestry and flow from the walls to the floor.  Her creations can take several months to complete.

One of her most recent pieces is a carpeted runway for designer Dries Van Noten made in collaboration with Danish artist Olafur Eliasson.
