"Even minimalists like pretty things."  Ian Buckland to nobody in particular in 2012.

These carpets come with a twelve month warranty.

A massive oil painting by Viktor Vasnetsov called The Flying Carpet (1880).*  

Based on the Slavic folktale of the Firebird and depicting Prince Ivan 

returning with the fabled bird in a golden cage. In truth the 

decorator  bird was on special at IKEA and, well, 

who would know the difference?
