Usually when are hungry we do not care too much about the color or form of the food. We just want to satisfy our nutritive need. It becomes more interesting when we try to combine art and food. In fact we transform cooking in a playful activity. We do not think of cooking like an obligation or of something that is boring and "eats" us a lot of time that we spend in the kitchen. Then food becomes a unique and colorful piece of art which is comestible.

Now if we think of this Egg Rug the situation is a little bit different. It is a combination of the idea of food and design of a room.The rug has the shape of two fried eggs. It is an original and funny rug but we cannot eat it. It is a wonderful idea for those who love food and think of food as an art.
