"N" stands for nurishment, which comes in the form of high quality craft. "U" stands for utility; streamline, everyday function. Together, you get NU, which makes some pretty nice rugs (and a few bits of furniture along the way).

The felted rugs, knotted rugs and kilim rugs are pretty stunning and can be custom made to fit your space. These rugs use all vegetable dyes and employ all of the construction techniques used in the finest traditional hand-knotted rugs.

The price range fits into the "if you have to ask..." category, but if you look at a rug the way you look at a work of art, it might be worth the investment.

I love Nu Collection! They have some of the most interesting and unique rugs I've seen: modern designs hand-made using traditional rug-making techniques. Though most pieces are on the higher-end, the quality of the workmanship shows. And you can't beat the visual bang and presence that the more adventerous pieces have. I own one of the smaller felted rugs. (This line is more affordably priced than the others.)
