Every festive season Hyde Park plays host to the Winter Wonderland. Though I cannot speak highly of the event itself, I did stumble across something whilst I was there that I thought was just amazing, a wooden tie! More recently I stumbled (via furbiz) across something even more impressive, wooden carpets!

Created by Elisa Stroyzk, they look absolutely beautiful. The geometric pattern compliments the wood’s natural texture perfectly. They are lush and make a simple rug ridiculously interesting again.

Nowadays, wood seems to be the material of choice for contemporary designers (perhaps to contrast the walls of technology that we have built around ourselves) with so many objects being made from it; such as the wooden usb stick, the wooden digital clock and my personal favourite implementation of wood – sitting a massive tree branch in a corner of your home…like so.

*Update – Look more wooden things! Shwood Eyeware!
