The Football Pitch Rug

Tweet

Following on from the Drop Dead Rug featured a while back on TFTS this Football Pitch Rug – or Soccer Pitch Rug for those American readers amongst you – once again proves that even the humble rug can become an interesting focal point with a little imagination.

Available from this Japanese outlet – a link is to an English translation of the site for those unable to read Japanese is provided here – the rug comes in two sizes, regular or mini, measuring 60x90cm and 140x200cm respectively, and is manufactured from what would appear to be machine washable acrylic woven in four hues of green so as to resemble grass.

From what I can gather from the English translation of the site it would seem that international orders are not being accepted as this juncture though one suspects that it’s only a matter of time until either this item, of imitations of it, become available elsewhere.

One can just imagine the arguments that could ensue should one own such a rug as you inform your partner that they’re offside as they do the vacuuming you promised to do a week ago but have never quite got round to doing.
