DESIGN NAME: Globalization Time
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wall Carpet
INSPIRATION: People have always inspired me. In connection with recent events in the world, the tendency to openly speak one's thoughts and defend one's point of view has acquired a new face. It was the courage of people that inspired me to create the Globalization project. Times are changing, cultural boundaries are becoming mere conventions, and people are adopting features that were previously inherent in other peoples and cultures.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: When choosing the technique for the execution of the project "Globalization", the designer decided to use the regional style and technology of carpet weaving of Central Asian cultures - Syrmak. This technology involves manual and painstaking work that takes a lot of time. The peculiarity of this product is not only in good design, but also in its environmental friendliness - since only environmentally friendly and natural materials were used in its production.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With proper care, the wall carpet "Globalization" can last for decades. In order for it to serve for so many years, it must be observed that the basic rule of care is timely dry cleaning. Periodically it is recommended to vacuum the carpet. This will help keep it neat and clean. Vacuuming is recommended on a minimum setting. This will avoid deformation of the product. To remove small stains, it is better to use a sponge dipped in soapy water.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: sketches made at home, in the city of Almaty in 2021, project completion October 2021

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Syrmak consists of two layers of felted wool of the highest quality. The decorative top layer of syrmak is made of merino wool, soft and pleasant to the touch. The fine fibers of merino wool are waterproof and breathable, making it easy to clean; it is also odor resistant, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. The second layer, which forms the basis of syrmak, is made of stronger wool than the top layer. Such wool retains a rigid shape, has a denser structure, and has excellent thermal insulation properties.
