Renaissance Cowhide


The Renaissance cowhide is unlike any cowhide you have ever seen, it's from a very exotic breed of beast that lives in the fantasy world of designers Young & Battaglia. The piece features a background image created by artist Himitsuhana, overlayed with tufts of fur and hand cut out in a special rubber backed fabric. A fusion between art and utility, this rug will add a beautifully surreal touch to any interior, and unlike real cowhides this one is hypo-allergenic, washable, and will always lay flat. Designed by Young & Battaglia with artwork by Himitsuhana, these rugs area made in England. Dimensions 1653x1500mm. Material samples available on request. More
