Developing fresh Kush designs is an exciting and collaborative process. It's always a thrill to see how the graphics, materials, construction, and colors come together in a finished sample. Small details can add up to making a substantial difference in the final rug.
Here, the team is reviewing three different versions of our Sendai Enoki design. Besides the obvious variation in color, different blends of wool were used to weave each 2'x2' sample. We wanted to create a clear design, contrasted with more movement in the background field.
Kush Rugs is doubly fortunate. We have the privilege of assisting talented A-list designers like Donna Dufresne realize their custom rug vision. We also have the privilege of working alongside talented team members such as Sean, Michael, and Joseph. Talent + talent makes beautiful rugs and a fills our days with beautiful people.
Thanks for sharing in our woolly adventures.
I wanted to express my gratitude to Max Humphrey for his contribution to my latest "Design Time" article for Rug Insider Magazine. Max is a "one-man design band" (terrible pun intended!) and I appreciated his time.
I encourage you to check out Max's book, "Lodge," and also keep an eye out for his second fabric collection in collaboration with Sunbrella Fabrics and new line of enamelware with Crow Canyon Home.
My ongoing series of Design Time interviews is featured online at Rug Insider. If you prefer old school print, subscribe, or pick up a copy at the following rug and home trade shows.
See you in the rug stacks! ~ Brian
