Organised by COVER magazine, the fourth edition of CCLV brings together dynamic brands to showcase some of the highest-quality traditional, transitional and contemporary rugs on the market today—from broadloom and designer pieces to one-of-a-kind and antique rugs. The dedicated pavilion is the perfect accompaniment to the other types of carpet and flooring offered by exhibitors elsewhere at tise. Plus, this year, the dates coincide with Las Vegas Market, 25–29 January 2026, offering buyers optimum rug exposure in Las Vegas this January.  

Visit COVER Connect Las Vegas at tise to discover outstanding custom options and programme lines, and to source excellent selections of rugs specifically tailored to client tastes. A selection of highlights follows: 
 
Momeni offers great versatility as it launches a range of new broadloom collections that expand its growing offering in both wall-to-wall carpet and custom-sized rugs alongside a curated selection of one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rugs, ranging from unique contemporary pieces to reimagined vintage looks. 

Turquoise Mountain‘s new Khotan and Donegal collections strike harmonic style notes delivering transitional looks for characterful homes. 

Samad Rugs’ popular Nordic collection embodies the age-old concept of sophistication through simplicity. The Natural Ivory and Natural Black colourways use 100% natural un-dyed yarn, offering a modern spin on traditional rug-making. Plus at the opposite end of the colour spectrum, there will be a fresh batch of vibrant one-of-a-kind Afghan rugs from the Taimany collection made in collaboration with ABC Italia. 

New exhibitor for 2026, Parviz Oriental Rugs will present an exceptional collection of antique rugs, as will Eliko Rug Gallery which will offer antique Heriz, Serapi, Mahal, Malayer, and Oushak rugs alongside its custom rug program, making bespoke designs available in colours tailored to any interior.  

Tamarian’s Veiled White Taupe offers a quiet, contemporary design featuring raised silk over a finely knotted field in a calming palette that echoes current interior trends. Its fine, NW weave quality lends itself to more traditional elements of carpet design. When knotted in the Tibetan technique, Ned Baker says, ‘traditional designs translate into something fresh and new while honouring the classic design elements of great carpets of the past.’ 

Designed by Wool & Silk’s Erbil Tezcan, Eastern Echos merges contemporary art by the brand’s artist collaborator Paddy Cohn with traditional motifs. Using one of her paintings as a base, fading medallions appear layered on top, creating a sophisticated interplay between modern abstraction and heritage design. Georgia Pahl is looking forward to introducing new colourways of two of the company’s best-sellers, Smoke and Selian saying, ‘a good design is timeless, but just as you see in luxury fashion and jewellery, evolving palettes are essential to reflect shifting trends and market demands.’ 

We foresee a continued focus on fresh takes on traditional foliate motifs across a vanguard of designs that speak a handwoven-rug-design language in a new dialect as seen from French Accents and Olker Rugs. Another trend that is set to persevere is the sweep of warm neutral colours in natural materials with varied textures—find hide offerings with Pampas Leather and various qualities that fit the bill with Cella Carpet. 

Other notable rug companies exhibiting at tise include Couristan; Rebel Carpets; Kaleen; Prestige Mills; Global Craft and Stanton Design.
