Crossley Axminster is excited to spotlight a recent
installation at the Ilani Casino Resort in Ridgefield,
Washington. Designed as a cultural homage to the Cowlitz
Indian Tribe, the carpets channel a meandering river,
creating a tranquil and immersive atmosphere. Subtle yet
meticulously crafted depictions of salmon swimming just
beneath the surface celebrate their essential role in the Tribe's culture.
Now, more than ever, sustainability is positioned at the forefront of design decisions. The company is proud to
produce products that are primarily made of wool-a biodegradable and natural rapidly renewable resource.
Crossley Axminster is always eager to support NEWH in building strong relationships between designers and
vendors, as well as fostering the newest generation of up-and-coming talent.
