A hand-made oriental rug is a unique synthesis of artistic expression and utility. It can be the focal point of a design scheme or the quiet anchor that draws a room and people together. In a world increasingly geared towards a disposable mentality a fine rug will endure, growing more beautiful as the years tumble by. Owners Rebecca and Brian travel the world focusing on hand-spun wool and resilient dyes in modern area rugs, traditional oriental carpets and textiles. Kush also creates custom designs, sizes, weaves, and textures to fit the most challenging spaces.

Kush is committed to quality, design, service and eco and social responsibility. A retail sponsor of rugmark, Kush supports fair trade practices through numerous avenues. We deeply value the cultural and historical context of this ancient art form, as well as how our business impacts lives all over the world, every day. Clients can be comfortable knowing their carpet was crafted by an adult artisan paid a living wage working in a safe environment.

Because we believe that a rug should be viewed in its intended context and lighting scheme, interior designers, architects, and discerning retail customers are encouraged to view pieces at home on an approval basis without obligation. A Kush hand-knotted carpet will outlast most furnishings; care and time should be spent educating ones eye and palette. We offer friendly, knowledgeable service at our Southeast Portland gallery to assist you in this process. Selecting a rug is a journey unto itself.

Live the KUSH life!
