Each mini brochure comes in a ‘tumble-fold’ format and measures 6” x 9” folded and 6” x 23” as a flat panel. Please contact your Tufenkian Showroom or local Authorized dealer for one today.

If you’re in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area next week be sure to stop by our Third Avenue location to see new product and samples during the 8th annual Metro Market Week.

In addition to new designs by James Tufenkian and Barbara Barry, we have new product on display from our celebrated Designers’ Reserve Collection. Kevin Walz introduces four designs in monochromatic colors and oversized patterns, while Vicente Wolf adds five all-new colorways to his classic Streets of Paris design.

Taking place in late September in individual showrooms and world headquarters throughout New York and New Jersey, Metro Market week creates an exciting and cost effective market that allows wholesalers in the region to invite buyers into their home showrooms, rather than into an off-site facility . Established in 2004 by a group of New York- and New Jersey-based rug wholesalers, Metro Market Week allows members to show far more product than is possible in any other rug market.

Just added to the world-renowned Designers’ Reserve Collection: new designs and colorways from Kevin Walz and Vicente Wolf

Introducing to our celebrated Designers’ Reserve Collection: Four new designs from Kevin Walz and five new colorways to the classic and sophisticated Streets of Paris design by Vicente Wolf, both longtime friends and partners of Tufenkian.

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.

“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.

And from Vicente Wolf; handmade in the classic wool and silk combination, the celebrated Streets of Paris design has been revitalized with new colors such as Macadamia, Pistachio, Walnut, Smoke and Taro.

“I’m not a person for pattern, so when I was designing these carpets, I wanted a sense of abstractness that could play with the tones and materials being used in the rugs.”

The combination of an in intricate handmade construction and lustrous wool give this design a fabulous sheen that reflects the sky after twilight. This design is in stock for immediate delivery and available in sizes 3’x5’ to 12’x18’ and runners and custom. Contact your local Tufenkian Showroom for more information.

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.
