The rugs are made by displaced Afghani weavers in a remote village in NW Pakistan. The intention is to relocate the weavers back to their homes to a better quality of life with a commitment of humanitarian awareness and economic stability.

The weavers, both men and women, are true artists + craftspeople, who follow a method of rug making dating back to the 18th + 19th centuries.

It is a pure process that begins with the building of hand made looms, shearing of ghazni (unbleached) wool, and the mixing of natural vegetal dyes (indigo, madder, henna, saffron, pomegranate) to the intricate weaving of rich, vibrant and luminous rugs.

The modern, forward thinking designs created by Mitchell Ross, (see profile), are a product of many influences - abstract, concrete, ethereal and personal. Each rug holds a harmonic vibration all its own. The colors, textures + shapes transcend ordinary states of mind, being a collaboration between Mitchell and the weavers who challenge themselves to interpret the design intentions, while creating their own connection to the rug.

It is this coexistence, and the melding of two worlds, that create their unique energies and aesthetic integrity.
