Price History
Description
This refined rug from Asiatic features an abstract, textured design for a bold look. The woven, multi-dimensional pile offers a velvety soft feel and creates an intentionally distressed look. This elegant piece is ideal for modern interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this Asiatic Kuza rug because it adds subtle texture and interest without overwhelming a space. Its grey palette is versatile, making it a good choice for both contemporary and classic interiors. This rug works especially well in living rooms and bedrooms where you want a calming backdrop, and it pairs nicely with a range of colour schemes. For styling, consider layering with other textiles like throws or cushions to enhance comfort, or place it under a coffee table to anchor the seating arrangement. Its neutral tone also makes it practical for high-traffic areas, as it’ll hide dirt and wear well over time.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
