Nani Marquina has spent 20 years designing rugs imbued with a studied alchemy of texture and color. Handloomed and tufted of all-natural materials, the rugs are characterized by dense, resilient pile that invites touch. Straying from the monochromatic tendencies of modern floor coverings, the Cuks Rug is lively and graphic while still maintaining a formality suitable for a lobby or living room. The Cuks Rug (2003) is woven from a soft blend of wool and jute, with the woolen strands left long to create a minimalist revision of the shag rug. Recommended for use with a Design Within Reach rug pad.
