Harrington College of Design students recently competed in a contest to design rugs and have them made by weavers in Nepal. Now you get a chance to buy the winning rugs. On October 28, the rugs will be auctioned off at Orange Skin. Bidding starts at $1,000. You can preview the rugs at Harrington on the 5th floor until October 27. You can also see them here. We like the rug by Adam Frommelt. (Apparently the judges disagreed; it placed only fourth.)
