Description
elson & company was created with the vision of fusing the finest quality hand-knotted Tibetan rugs with the endless possibilities of sophisticated design. Professional designers translate innovative visions into individual works of art. Our contributing designers include Fabien Baron, San Francisco-based graphic artist Rex Ray, fabric designers Lulu de Kwiatkowski and Kathryn Ireland, architect, Steven Holl and Oscar de la Renta and founder, Diane Elson Bankoff. Artisans in Katmandu are masters of traditional Tibetan weaving techniques that reflect the rich heritage of the craft. Our collections embrace the harmony between the established art form of Tibetan and dhurrie weaving and the endless possibilities of sophisticated, design.
Founded in San Francisco in 1997 by Diane Elson Bankoff, today elson & company is made up of two women in the US, numerous showrooms and over 100 people in Nepal and India. Over the past nine years, elson & company has exhibited work at the Tibet House Gallery in New York City, LIMN gallery in San Francisco, and the Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in Chicago. In 2000, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art purchased three rugs from Tibetan Modern: The Architects Collection for their permanent collection. 2001 brought a joint project with graphic designer and art director Fabien Baron and Cappellini.
In October 2003, we completed a collection of rugs called Fashion Underfoot created by top fashion designers including Narciso Rodriguez, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Reed Krakoff of Coach, Richard Lambertson/ John Truex, and Robert Lee Morris. The Fashion Underfoot collection was a natural outgrowth of three core values of elson & company – an emphasis on working with top design talent, producing a premier product and being a philanthropic member of the community.
