Finnish design team, Imu, have struck a chord as self-appointed mediators between the brightest emerging young design talent and the public. One such luminary is Johanna Hyrkas; an all-round creative lady who's also the founding member of Anteeksi design collective. Featured at Imu is this rather fabulous Light Carpet, which "combines a carpet with light and warmth." Made of a combination of thread and light-rope, this durable carpet is high on the usability/comfort factor as the nights draw in. Plumping for the premium version will even furnish you with light show-capable carpet.

If glowing carpets are not entirely your thing, its worth checking out icustomrug for a choice of both contemporary and traditional rugs.

As Horta says so well himself, "Let's put some light in our memories!!!"
