You may not want Anthrax anywhere near or in your home, but if it’s a Bev Hisey area rug of the same name, you may change your mind.

Bev Hisey Area Rugs

As part of Toronto-based textile designer Bev Hisey’s large collection, these hand tufted wool carpets emulate magnified infections, viruses and bacteria.

Named the ‘Dirty Dishes’ collection (as in Petri dishes), the ten individual Bev Hisey area rugs are three dimensional, colorful wool renderings of Cholera, Botulism, Acinobacter, Anthrax, SARS, The flu, Anthrax, Strep, HIV and E.coli.
