Detailed description. The carpet consists of hundreds of small round felt elements, resembling lozenges. They are multicolored and varied in shades. The carpet itself is white and acts as a board with indentations. Each lozenge can be removed and arranged on the board as desired. The pieces are arranged alternately, which creates a visual shimmering effect, and the variety of colors brings to mind children's toys or candy scattered on the floor.

The Pastilles carpet by Agnieszka Czop and Joanna Rusin is an example of Polish applied design that combines functionality with unique aesthetics. It was created in 2005 as part of a larger trend in design that promotes handicraft and natural materials. Felt, which is the main raw material, is not only environmentally friendly, but also durable and warm, making it an ideal material for everyday objects

The design of Pastilka reflects the approach of the authors, who value playing with color and form, while ensuring high quality workmanship. The carpet has gained recognition both in Poland and abroad, winning a place in exhibitions devoted to contemporary design. It is a work that subtly redefines traditional notions of the carpet as a utilitarian object, transforming it into a full-fledged element of decorative art.
