Day by day is designed to vizualize human labour and working time within a product.

A polygon shaped carpet is using a cell structure pattern as a basic grid which is filled day by day with a pair of colours. Every working-day, the worker is using two different colours to fill the pattern. This generates a coloured stripe, – an abstract record of one working day. Day by day the carpet fills up with more stripes for each day. Some stripes will be thinner and some will be thicker, depending on the rug’s shape, the working hours, and also the daily condition of the worker – a working diary, manifested in the rug.

Each working day is translated into the pattern of the rug and by doing so, each piece becomes as unique as its maker while at the same time unveiling the exact amount of working days per carpet. To underline this, the carpet carries a label with the name, age and gender of the worker(s) and the start and finishing date.

Also available in a larger red version.
The rug is part of the permanent collection of the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York.
