Trash Tufted Rug 2/2 (Dutch design, 2022) by Paul&Albert

Paul Mulder and Albert Buring met at the Minerva art academy in Groningen, where they both studied graphic design. After some years of cooperation there was a gradual shift from graphic to spatial work. They began to execute their concepts more and more spatially, with the graphic work slowly fading into the background. They found that they could express their ideas more strongly in spatial work, giving it more eloquence and value. They became fascinated by the world of art and design. In 2019, they made the rigorous decision to stop their graphic design work and throw themselves entirely into making art and design. The graphic signature is still sometimes recognizable in their current work.
