"Receipt" Rug

Description

"Receipt" Rug by Virgil Abloh, 2019

Virgil Abloh turns the normally disposable shopping receipt into a large textile object. The IKEA logo, barcode and itemised typography remain instantly recognisable, while their enlarged scale playfully reverses the relationship between a purchase and the record of buying it.

Wool, Nylon.
78.74 x 35.43 in (200.0 x 90.0 cm)
Unopened and sold in original packaging.

Notes: Abloh said “I wanted an ironic take on the traditional attitude to furnishing where the living room is just a showroom, not somewhere you sit. The parental ‘don’t ruin the furniture’ kind of thing I think has really impacted how younger people think.”

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.
