Arsin Rug Gallery

Arsin Rug Gallery takes a considered approach to the rug-buying experience, helping clients make informed decisions through carefully curated collections, dependable imagery and detailed product information.

Rather than presenting an overwhelming number of options, the company aims to make it easier to compare rugs and create a confident shortlist. Clear sizing information and direct guidance also support clients as they plan showroom visits, ask questions and determine the next steps in their search.

Serving Atlanta since 2003, Parviz Oriental Rugs specialises in rug sales, cleaning and repair. The company was founded in 1988 by Parviz Beikzadeh, who developed his knowledge of rug care and sales while learning from relatives in Iran.

Now continuing into its second generation, the family business draws on a rug tradition spanning several countries and continents. Its offering combines a varied selection of rugs with specialist knowledge in restoration and ongoing care.

Jade Industries Inc.

Jade Industries Inc. was established in 1974 by second-generation Oriental rug dealer Aram K. Jerrehian, Jr., one of the founders of the Oriental Rug Retailers Association.

Initially created to meet demand for high-quality underlays suitable for fine Oriental rugs, the family-run company has since expanded its offering to accommodate many different types of area rug.

Today, Jade continues to develop rug pads with the needs of both retailers and consumers in mind.

Momeni

Founded in 1975, Momeni began when Haji Momeni started selling high-quality rugs door to door. The family-owned company has since grown from a small importer of Persian rugs into an international manufacturer producing thousands of pieces each year.

Its collections now encompass area rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting and home accessories.

Throughout this expansion, the company’s guiding principle, ‘A Tradition of Quality’, has remained at the heart of its approach to design and product development.

Rug Maroc

Traditionally woven by women for use in their own homes, Moroccan rugs served as floor coverings, seating covers, blankets and bedding during colder weather.

Their entirely individual designs often reflect the experiences of the women who made them, meaning no two pieces are ever the same.

Rug Maroc was founded by traveller and collector Danny Popkin to share the distinctive rugs he and his wife, Robin, discovered across Morocco. Hand-selected from thousands of pieces made in village communities, the rugs retain signs of their previous lives, revealing how valued they were within the homes for which they were created.

The full collection will now be presented at COVER Connect New York.

Knot & Co.

For more than 30 years, Knot & Co. has specialised in handmade rugs designed around the particular needs of each client. Its bespoke programme encompasses a wide range of patterns, dimensions, materials, qualities and weaving techniques.

Long-standing relationships with leading weavers, supported by an established production network and a hands-on approach, allow the company to manage highly individual commissions reliably. Inspired by global travel rather than one particular region or period, its work combines broad design influences with attentive service and strong value.

Pampas Leather

Established in 1944, Pampas Leather is a family business operating across Spain and Argentina. The vertically integrated company works with wool, sheepskin, bovine leather, cowhide and fur, managing the process from raw material to finished design through its own tannery in Argentina.

Its collections include contemporary fur rugs, with bespoke colours and designs available for individual projects.
