Andee Hess is the creative force behind many of Portland’s most inventive yet highly functional spaces. We recently asked her to select 5 rugs from our collection and tell us why.

^  DRAGON by Wool & Silk

“Dragons! Serious wool and silk weave, but I love how this is also a little playful. Actually reminds me of lazing away the afternoon playing Zelda.”

 

^  HARLEM SPRING by Wool & Silk

“Feels mysterious and organic, but also welcoming in that, well, you could spill something on it and would anyone know? Great way to bring in bright yellow and pink, but in a non-committal way.”

 

^  TWO LIONS SUPREME by Rug Star

“Love the hand-drawn and inverted feeling of this. Beyond dramatic and confident. This would be amazing with a dark blue mohair sofa.”

 

^  KIRMAN ROBSON ARTWORK #19 by Jan Kath

“Epically detailed piece. Gorgeous on a floor, but almost even more amazing as a wall-hanging.”

 

^  FLATWEAVE by Lila Valadan

“Great character to this weave of light yellow and blue, with stitches connecting the strips. I like that it highlights the hand construction of the piece. Not fussy, but a super interesting basic. ”
