Design and art need a twist
John Agelii is a Swedish graphic designer/artist. His background is in fashion advertising, but beside that job he plan to challenge the way we think of rugs.
These rugs are made of felt and communicate more directly to visitors and guests than ordinary rugs do. The use of typography and symbols let you create a dialog on the floor of your house.
Inspiration to the name John Pour Home came from a bottle of Pour Homme perfume.

This is an Arne Jacobsen 3107 chair, manufactured by Fritz Hansen. I just bought 6 of these (used) for a bargain price. I may actually sell them because I prefer the style of the 3101!
