Digital cowhide. These cowhide rugs made by Popcows are produced using time-honored techniques but are pieced together randomly. They end up looking a bit pixelated, which is pleasantly unexpected in a rug made with such a traditional material.

 
 

We tend to favor pieces like this that combine traditional materials or techniques with modern twists. Check out the white one, which is equally striking:

I can see this in the lobby of some kind of Texas-based corporation.

Does anybody know anything about what is involved in the making of cowhide rugs? I am drawn to them but wonder what the process is of obtaining the hides. Is it similar to leather?

Any idea what one of these would go for or where you can buy one?

Start with the link to Popcows, the manufacturer linked in the original post.
