Description

Shaw Floors brings you a beautiful 5'5 x 7'8 area rug from the Kathy Ireland Home Gee's Bend collection. The rug is made of a woven olefin fiber. The color pallet is a collection of stylish earth tones including shades of brown, green and taupe.

The exquisite hand-sewn Quilts of Gee's Bend are renowned across the United States. Each is a work of art, designed by artists of the Gee's Bend collective in rural Alabama. The Craftsmanship of these beautiful quilts has been handed down through six generations of women. Described by the New York Times as "some of the most miraculous works of modern art American has produced", the Quilts of Gee's Bend were recently exhibited in twelve American museums and featured in Newsweek, in Oprah magazine, and on National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation. Now Shaw Living and Kathy Ireland are proud to bring these designs, which are made with great artistry, respect and love into American Homes. Woven of soft, lustrous olefin, the Quilts of Gee's Bend area rugs feature a buttery soft hand, brilliant colors, and a carved, sculpted appearance. The collection features seven stunning rug designs that blend traditional African American inspired patterns and bright hues with a modern, abstract feeling. ©2005 Kathy Ireland Worldwide
