M e l b o u r n e We Clean Visit us in Atlanta January 13-16, 2016 Valuable Rugs “Never clean this rug” was good advice when traditional rug washing was your only option. Revita is not traditional rug washing. Revita revitalizes rugs, purging them of dirt, bacteria, dust mites, allergens, stains and odors. No harsh chemicals. In fact, Revita removes the toxic residue le by previous rug cleaners and gently strips away the brittle calcium deposited in your rug by the well water they used. A revitalized rug is so er, richer and healthier than ever before. Utterly clean. You’ll smile when you see and feel the di erence. Revita is a new technology using ultra-puri ed water and purely organic additives to restore the life and vitality of area rugs, even the most delicate, antique silk Persians and Orientals. Miraculously, Revita costs about the same as traditional rug washing. But technology is always like that, isn’t it? Giving us safe, a ordable solutions that were impossible only yesterday. Learn more at revitaRUGS.com or call us at 855-573-8482 PS – Patching, weaving, re-dyeing and re-fringing are performed daily by our master conservators. Your rug is in expert hands with Revita.

“If I can’t have a handmade rug, I would rather not use one at all!”
As soon as you step into her beautiful Italianate 19th- century Brooklyn Heights brownstone, you know that tradi- tion with a playful modern twist plays an important role in Kathryn Scott’s interior design. It’s no wonder that oriental and decorative rugs are a key ingredient in her interiors— an amalgam of influences ranging from the contemporary to French antiques and Chinese art—where artistry, crafts- manship, and sustainability are paramount. Introduced to handmade rugs by her Texas grandmoth- er when she was 15 and coached by her mother, an avid col- lector, the designer has always used them in her work which takes her all over the country and further afield including to Paris and Shanghai. “If I can’t have a handmade rug, I would rather not use one at all!” states Ms. Scott who began her career as an artist and is married to Gu Wenda, the Chinese world-renowned contemporary artist. Touted for creating “living environments,” she practices a personal holistic approach to design emphasizing the integration of the old with the contemporary while shying away from the trendy and ephemeral. Thanks to her artistic sensibilities, Ms. Scott is attract- ed to the imperfections and the variety of patinas character- istic of decorative rugs. “Handmade rugs have a life of their
