The show returns to New York in the Autumn
Register now for COVER Connect New York 2025! The leading trade show for high-end handmade rugs returns to the Metropolitan Pavilion and The Altman Building in Manhattan from September 13–15, 2025.
With just two months to go, it is almost time to welcome more than 40 of the finest rug brands to this exclusive trade-only fair—where designers, retailers, and industry professionals come together to connect, collaborate, and do business in the vibrant, curated setting that defines COVER Connect events.

This year’s show features more than 30 returning favourites, who will bring a range of new pieces and collections with them. Original CCNY exhibitor, Samad, will offer from the Taimany Collection, a collaboration with ABC Italia, alongside launching its new Genesis Collection at the show. Wool & Silk will offer new textural pieces made using undyed yarn, as well as a new collection collaborating with an abstract artist. Another brand returning to the show for the fourth time is Tamarian, with variations of traditional Ushak-type designs, and a brand new drug-inspired collection.

Alongside the returning favourites is a selection of exciting new exhibitors. Among them:
- Olker, creators of heirloom-quality rugs made using sustainable, environmentally conscious methods
- Couristan, known for nearly a century of quality rugs, carpets and custom floor coverings
- The New England Collection, specialists in custom hooked rugs with a modern take on classic design
- Kaleen, combining skilled craftsmanship with eco-friendly, solar-powered production

So why register now? Registering early comes with several valuable benefits. By signing up now, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win two free hotel nights in Manhattan—an exclusive opportunity available only to early registrants. Early registration also ensures a faster, smoother check-in process, as all attendees must be pre-approved, and verifying your credentials in advance helps streamline entry. Early CCNY registrants also gain access to discounted hotel accommodations, though availability is limited due to Fashion Week in NYC. Finally, registrants will receive updates and important event information before anyone else. Don’t miss out! Register now.
