Following the acclaim of their 2022 collaboration featuring the Shroom CACTUS®, Gufram returns to Design Miami with an exciting new partnership alongside Hommemade, A$AP Rocky’s design venture. The showcase introduces the Skyline Carpet, a stunning reimagining of traditional carpets that draws inspiration from the iconic New York City skyline.
The limited edition Skyline Carpet, consisting of just nine pieces, will debut at the Hommemade booth. Spanning 300 cm x 300 cm, this innovative work of art not only mirrors the city’s layout, but also enhances social interaction and relaxation. Crafted in Gufram’s distinctive polyurethane, the carpet features intricate representations of New York’s famed skyscrapers, which serve as functional seating and surfaces. This design elevates the carpet from mere decoration to an immersive experience that encapsulates the dynamic essence of one of the world’s greatest cosmopolitan centers.
A$AP Rocky, known for his deep connection to the vibrancy and creativity of New York, expresses his vision: “For this second collaboration with Gufram, we wanted to create a piece that embodies the spirit of this city by merging art, architecture, and functionality. My goal is to design objects that not only furnish but also stimulate and inspire.”
Charley Vezza, Gufram’s Global Creative Orchestrator, echoes this sentiment, stating, “Skyline Carpet is not merely a carpet or a piece of furniture but a true space that transports users to another dimension.” This philosophy aligns with Rocky’s exploration of creative boundaries through Hommemade.
With the Skyline Carpet, A$AP Rocky continues to expand his influence in the world of design and art, crafting unique experiences that bridge his musical roots with his passion for innovative design. This latest collaboration promises to captivate attendees at Design Miami, showcasing how art and functionality can intertwine to redefine our interactions with everyday objects.
Design Miami runs from December 4 to December 8, featuring a convergence of collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts celebrating exceptional collectible design.
