Sruli Recht’s Ice Bear Rugs

June 27th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Want the look of a polar bear rug in your crib, but feeling to guilty to pull another one of these “vulnerable species” out of the wild? Reykjavik based designer Sruli Recht has just completed a three-meter imitation polar bear rug, titled the Ice Bear rug, that will be available in a limited release of 10 come July. Crafted from 15 Icelandic sheepskins, the designer has pieced the rugs together from poster diagrams like those found in old butcher shops. Each of the imitation polar bear skins comes cleanly tied up with two of Recht’s designer ~Elt belts. The majority of the rugs will be offered in Arctic white (pictured). Although black, brown and albino versions will also be available.
