Wacky Rugs
This Tord Boontje creation, called the "Little Field of Flowers" and made from wool felt cut outs of leaves, could give any room more texture. Design Within Reach
The Find A Face Rug is playful and fun. Taken together, this grouping of inanimate objects take on a life of their own – or at least they look like they'd like to try.
Here's a better view. It's silly, but genius. Look at the mop face in the upper left hand corner. Can you guess which objects are being featured in each square?
You can bring the outside in with this satellite image on cropped velvet. Now if only the "Be My Neighbor Rug Kit" could be tailored to your own 'hood. Google Earth meets home decor.
My favorite! Who wouldn't want to relax up against those cozy wedged corners? Nanimarquina's "Flying Carpet" may not be practical, but it certainly looks comfortable.
This rug is made to look like a John Deere tractor has mowed right over it leaving nothing but the imprints of its wheels behind. Hence, the name: "John Deere" by Permafrost"
One of the strangest of the bunch – that's a 100 percent wool, flattened fox carcass "bloodied" and sewn right in. Yuck! "Road Kill Carpet" by OOOMS"
Ewww. Why would anyone want this in their house?
Hungry? Well, you're out of luck. This egg rug, which made the blog rounds a couple of years ago, is all fabric. (But we had to include it!) With two yolk pillows, the "Sunny Side Up Rug" by Valentina Audrito makes for a bizarre addition to any space.

I though some of the contemporary rugs at a web site called "Georgia Mills" were kind of wacky, but they're no match for the ones in your slide show. The "road kill" one is a bit gross, but kind of funny.
