Our rugs combine contemporary aesthetics, bold graphics and clean styling for a unique design element in any setting. Each design is available in custom colors. We can also customize a design especially for you.

Our rugs are very low maintenance. Care and maintenance is much like caring for hardwood flooring. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. Occasionally give your rug a good cleaning with a mild cleanser such as Murphy's Oil Soap. Abrasive cleansers are not recommended as they can damage the protective finish. In addition, our rugs are a great consideration for those whose health is adversely affected by traditional floor coverings.

Now, this topic isn't exactly sexy or fun, but you need to use something to keep your home clean... especially if you are lucky enough to own one of these slick modern glass and concrete houses that we like to feature. And trying to find good products that aren't detrimental to your health and the larger environment is a challenge. A post at Cascadia Scorecard Weblog points us to a website that can help you locate eco-friendly products. And of course, our good friends at Treehugger have a couple of suggestions as well.

The garden terrace synthesizes the architecture and the landscape within a shared modernist vocabulary. The loft architecture and landscape sustain a symbiotic relationship where each is enriched by the other, managing light and form outside of the traditional garden-residence paradigm.

ZALI expresses man’s natural striving for necessary aesthetics. Aesthetics that have actual function and which are also a delight to the eye. A combination of robust, high quality natural materials and the stringent strengths of metals provides a living reflection of expression.

This reflection wanders forever with the changing light – where nothing and everything is new at the same time.
