“Barbara Barry's career as an internationally known designer with lines for the likes of Baker, Henredon, Tufenkian and more didn't follow a traditional trajectory.

Barry's quick to tell you she did not come from wealth -- rather, quite modest means. But she did grow up in an artistic family, and was led by a mother who saw great success in her daughter at an early age.

Speaking after a talk where she cast her spell over a couple hundred designers and industry professionals gathered at Parker Furniture, Barry says her beginnings happened because something had to…”

Tufenkian Introduces new Kevin Walz Designs
New Carpet Designs by Celebrated Artist and Designer

NEW YORK, NY—Tufenkian, the world’s leading designer and supplier of handmade Tibetan and Armenian rugs, announces the introduction of five new designs from longtime friend and partner, Kevin Walz. The collaboration is comprised of the designs Clover Loop and Molecular Loop – now part of the celebrated Designers’ Reserve collection - and Lace, Paisley and Rose – part of the Tufenkian Showroom Exclusive collection, available exclusively through one of six signature showrooms.

Hand-woven in a variety of textures - including cashmere, linen, silk and wool – Walz’s five luxurious new designs encompass large scale patterns in a range of unique, monochromatic color variations with names such as Matcha, Rosehip and Killer Blue.

Kevin Walz is among the world’s most prominent artist-designers. Drawing from a wide range of inspirations—from ancient weavings to modern art—Walz is known as an innovative residential, commercial space and product designer as well as a sought-after lecturer and curator. He is a member of the Interior Design Hall of Fame, and his work is included in many design museums and has won the prestigious Rome Prize.

Walz’s collaboration with Tufenkian began in the mid 1990s, and has produced designs that have been widely embraced by the design community, including Rag Weave Roseberry, Prati Brook, Eva H Blackstone and the exclusive Alchemy collection.

“My designs are brought to life by the touch of the master craftsmen and by handmade processes that are rare in our evolving world,” comments Walz.

Tufenkian’s time-honored processes—including producing the rugs entirely by hand—ensures that each finished product is a distinct work of unparalleled beauty and enduring quality. For over two decades, Tufenkian has redefined the traditional handmade carpet industry by taking a modern aesthetic and marrying it with an ancient craft. Tufenkian has created a line of nearly 500 programmed designs/colorways and hundreds more custom designs that reside in thousands of the world’s most extraordinary homes.

Collections are predominantly sold to the trade and can be purchased through the company’s six signature showrooms – Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Oregon and London, England - as well as through select dealers nationwide, including Bloomingdale’s and Baker Showrooms.

Tufenkian applies its standard for excellence to all areas of its business; its award-winning programs for worker welfare, social responsibility and environmental preservation are unparalleled. Additional information can be found at www.tufenkian.com.

Laura Kostelny, contributor to the D Home blog, featured the New Moderns collection by Laura Kirar:

“It’s dark outside, and I think it’s going to storm. Here is what I would like to do: lie down on the ground, curl up in a ball, and go to sleep. Unfortunately, the carpet around my desk is a little—how should I put this?—cluttered. If only I had something from the New Moderns Collection by noted interior designer Laura Kirar and Tufenkian. Kirar is a fan of contemporary art, and she found inspiration from works by Sol LeWitt, Gerhard Richter, and Richard Serra, among others. The result: minimalist rugs that are both stylish and bold. And thanks to Tufenkian, the hemp and wool creations aren’t just easy on the eyes, they’re lovely for the face should you choose to lie down. Like I would. Go here to check out more from the collection.”
