“There’s something elegant about these lines that are so nice and even. This little rug is aware of how cool it is. It says, ‘I may be tiny, but I’m here, deal with me.’” —Barbara Ornelas

“This rug is cool—the pattern is simple, but with the idea that anything more would be outlandish. It doesn’t need to be flamboyant, because it, like my sister, is comfortable with itself.” —Michael Ornelas
