Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, by Celine Law. Celine Law interviewed both James Tufenkian and Tufenkian dealer Altfield, in the dealers Hong Kong showroom. The article features designs by Tufenkian and discusses James’ passion for quality design and his mission of social responsibility.

What’s Hot! By Erin Swift: Creative License: For her debut collection with Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, Laura Kirar channeled artists such as John Cage, who’s compositions inspired the Chant rug.

Tufenkian’s Sebastia Fawn was highlighted in Veranda’s feature article “The World of…Oushak Rugs.” Sebastia Fawn is from Tufenkian’s Armenian collection

“Exported since the fifteenth century from the Turkish town that gives it’s name, the Oushak is a classic wool rug with plenty of plush warmth, both literal and visual. Historically, its earth tones and geometric floral patterns were associated with kings – the rugs appear underfoot in early Renaissance royal portraits – but today’s versions aren’t as formal. They feature softer palettes and motifs in combinations that fit the bill in alls orts of rooms, regal or not.” --text by Mario Lopez Cordero, produced by Jill Brown & Eugenia Santiesteban Soto

Cut A Rug
Abstract Fall Color from the New Moderns by Laura Kirar was featured as one of the “latest and greatest inspirations” in the magazines décor, trend and style piece.

“Laura Kirar is one of our go-to gal for elegant and innovative products for the home. That sensibility has now been applied to the New Moderns collection of rugs for Tufenkian. The geometric patterns offer a luxe, livable take on 1980s style.” ---Tamara Robbins Griffith

Dave,

The rug [Lama solid mahogany] came today and we just pulled it upstairs, one stair at a time, and placed it on our bedroom floor.

All we can say is we're speechless!  It is perfect, beyond awesome, and as my husband, John, said, "equal to the best work of art that we have (which is beyond a compliment)". All three rugs from Tufenkian have changed our lives for the better...
