Appreciation towards Atelier Abroad for providing the following description:

“无所藏匿”（Nothing to Hide）是由Atelier Abroad设计、Desistart集团生产的新地毯系列。

“藏于地毯下”（sweep under the rug）是一句谚语，指人们希望将不好的东西隐藏起来，不让别人看见。“无所藏匿”地毯系列用一种积极的态度来表现这句谚语，通过“折叠的颜色”带来令人惊叹的效果，向人们展示地毯下未隐藏任何东西。

设计师通过意想不到的颜色组合制造出折叠的视觉假象，形成了颠覆传统圆形地毯的独特边缘线条，使得地毯可以放在中心位置，也能放在直线边缘处。

“无所藏匿”采用100%新西兰羊毛纯手工制作，颜色可定制。

We are pleased to share with you the latest information and images of “Nothing to Hide”, a new rug designed by Atelier Abroad and produced by Desistart Group.

Based on the expression “sweep under the rug”, used in situations where people want to hide something negative from the others, a new rug concept was created. The rug “Nothing to Hide” uses this expression in a positive way, creating a surprising effect by the colour hidden behind and at the same time, showing there is nothing underneath, there is nothing to hide.

By using a visual illusion of a fold, it’s possible to create unexpected colour combinations. The resulting edge transforms the standard circular shape and allows the rug to be placed both in a center position of a space and where a straight edge is needed.

“Nothing to Hide” is a handmade rug made of 100% New Zealand wool. The colour combinations can be customized.
