Viennese designer Martin Mostböck has designed a rug inspired by the scarred surface of the moon.

Called Dark Side of the Moon, the carpet was designed for Vorwork and features laser cut craters.

Here’s some more information from Martin Mostböck:

The moon has been known since prehistoric times, and after the sun, it is the second brightest object in the sky.

The moon, with its uneven, scarred surface is a conceptual approach to the project and at the same metaphor for the transferred to the flat surface perforation, in the textile surface patterns and exciting unusual Durchsichten possible.
