Ideal Bite

Wanna dance? If that cold hardwood floor is putting a damper on your disco moves, try something softer and lots more stylish: a luxury rug from Chicago-based nonprof Arzu. We’ve been swept off our feet by these gorgeous room-brighteners that combine great design (from abstract contemporary to traditional patterns), vibrant naturally-dyed yarns (think pomegranate-based red, walnut-brown) and socially progressive business. Arzu pays its weavers – Afghan women - market value for the hand-spun carpets, and in return, employees can afford to send their kids to school full-time. These beauties ain’t cheap, but next time you do the hustle, you can cut a cool rug.
