Blue Carpet
Newcastle upon Tyne, Italy
The Blue Carpet is a piece of public art in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, designed by Thomas Heatherwick. It is an area of public open space in front of the Laing Art Gallery, close to the main shopping and nightclub areas, paved with glass-and-resin slabs which curve up at the space's edges, giving
the appearance of a fabric carpet. Although classified as a piece of public art, it is closer to an urban design feature.
