A traditional rug meets Space Invaders. A perfect and very original concept and boy does it look good. But wait… there is more. This is not just a rug you lay on your floor, it is a space invaders rug game. This was created Janek Simons and this is a little story about his Carpet Invaders creation;

“Janek Simon unites the old geometric designs of Caucasian and Armenian carpets with the low-resolution abstractness of the Space Invaders. The collector carpet furnishing the ethnic-design, world-cuisine magazine becomes a new shopping item for the homecoming marines and the kid back home. It is the Oriental rug for your portable arcade mosque. Follow the voice of the Joystick prophet.”

This is the best idea I have seen for a rug, for playing a game other than on a tv and also for expanding the space invaders universe. I can not wait to see if other people take this concept further. More info over at the 2020 site. [via The BBPS]
