Gray Magazine | Design Award Nomination October 24 2018

We are delighted to have been chosen as a 2018 Gray Awards Finalist.

Portland 1911 was inspired by a vintage map of Portland Oregon and designed by owner Rebecca Lurie. The rug was hand knotted in India with an oxidized wool background and a silk design. Portland 1911 may be specified in several different qualities and may be custom colored and sized.

Being based in Portland, we of course have a natural affinity for our fair city, however we would be happy to collaborate on a city of your choosing.

Tedx Rug | Portland April 23 2018

Kush was honored to receive a commission to produce a TedX rug for the 2018 Bridges Portland event. Hosted at the Keller Auditorium, our rug shared the stage with notable Portland luminaries, entertainers and speakers.

The hand tufted rug was expedited and produced on a tight deadline. Time was scarce, however we couldn't resist a quick photo with our designer liaison Sean Antley before it was whisked away to the event.

Kush produces rugs for commercial applications, architects, interior designers and discerning retail clientele. You may peruse our published Tufts designs and textures online. If you have a rug vision, an idea, a piece of original artwork, a fav color, a photo, a piece of tile, a mood board, get in touch with our design team. We'll make a Kush rug just for you.

 


Installation | Heidi Semler Interior Design March 30 2018

Layers aren't just for delicious cakes. Using rugs to layer creates visual texture, and in this case, adds a pattern on top of a neutral sisal rug. While sisal provides a beautiful palette to work with, walking on wool is a lot softer for bare feet.

Interior Design by Heidi Semler. The wool, flat-weave rug is from our Mosaic Collection. Mosiac may be specified in custom sizes and colors.

Commercial Installation | West Lake Steps | Seattle WA March 02 2018

Custom tribal-boho rug for luxury apartments, the West Lake Steps in Seattle Washington. | Interior design by Vida Design | Developed by Holland Partners Group

The rug was translated from an antique Turkish kilm into our hand-knotted quality, which insured that it would withstand commercial traffic. The size and scale were enlarged and we added to. After the sample was approved, we made the rug and met the quoted lead time.

We love adapting our existing catalogue, or coming up with completely new rug designs to serve our commercial interior clients. Dream a rug dream and we'll lay it at your feet.


Installation | Mid Century Modern February 07 2018

What a jaw dropping combination of mid-century modern style. The Twigs rug was hand knotted in Nepal with Himalayan wool and 20% silk for a little extra sheen to the design.
