ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Global Warming contrasts the comfort and softness of a rug with a thorny problem that is specific to our time. Following the age-old tradition of using rugs as a means for communication and a cultural record, NEL is portraying global warming in a scene that invites us to reflect on our impact on today’s world.

The rug is manufactured by the Spanish rug and carpet company Nanimarquina; visit its webpage at www.nanimarquina.com

Did you ever think that people try to scam your money and base it on "help fight global warming"?

no not really. i don't want to buy it to "help fight global warming". i want to buy it because i think it's cleverly designed.
Eww
