Printing on the floor

One Yarn Of Paint

Rudi Boiten has devised a computer-controlled way of drawing patterns on the floor. His One Yarn of Paint project is inspired by the original technique of the weaving loom. The result is a delicate, tactile floor coating , whose unique signature is created through the texture and gloss of the paint. The dimensions of each ‘carpet’ can be controlled and customised, and the system allows for subtle colour shadings and different geometric patterns. The printed carpets are suitable for a range of functions and atmospheres, and are intended for public environments and architectural spaces.
