John Kurtz at Madison Millinger

Despite the heat, Portland’s interior design community joined us for a very lively and informative presentation by New Moon founder and designer, John Kurtz. John had just flown in from the East Coast, but happily shared many of New Moon’s incredibly beautiful rugs, talked at length about color and design, and gave his thoughts on current trends. He also spoke about the history and origins of many of his traditional and tribal designs, and even talked about the rug-making process, which has been virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Afterwards everyone enjoyed appetizers and cocktails in Madison Millinger’s showroom, beautifully-lit by the late summer sun.
