Jonas Hejduk's Crash.jpeg Collection Turns Low-Resolution Glitches into Woven Rugs and Benches
French designer Jonas Hejduk has launched a fresh collection called Crash.jpeg, featuring benches and rugs that highlight pixelated, blurred designs. The rugs draw inspiration from computer file formats, showcasing woven filenames along with their dimensions before and after processing. Made from digitally woven wool and cotton jacquard, Hejduk reflects on his early fascination with video game graphics, noting that "kids like me were already trapped in the logic of endless growth." This line comments on digital clarity and tech advancement, including pieces like Traditional-rug-1.jpeg and the Log-texture-1.jpeg bench, which are deliberately tricky to capture in photos. Hejduk also creates blurred ceramics, clothes, and wallpapers, viewing the furniture as "symbols of mourning and resistance." Dezeen covered this collection on 15 October 2026.
