The young design duo of Duo Shay Alkalay and Yael Mer, from the Raw Edges Design Studio, created this impressive floor installation in the gallery of Established & Sons, London. They called their work of art, made up of oiled oak parquet in a herringbone pattern, “Wall to Wall.” The dying of the individual pieces of wood required 15 different colours. Through the targeted disassociation of an everyday object – parquet – Alkalay and Mer have created a living, characteristically mosaic design

These two artists completed a course of studies at the Royal College of Art. Since then, they have received a few of the most important designer prizes, including the British Council Talented Award, the iF Gold Award, the Dutch Design Award, the Wallpaper* Design Award and the "Designer of the Future Award 2009" at Design Miami/Basel.
