Oriental Weavers To Debut 400 Designs At NY Market
Oriental Weavers will introduce more than 400 new designs in their new showroom during the New York Home Fashions Market. A wide variety of new patterns, colorations, qualities, constructions and price points will be introduced in woven and printed area rugs and accent rugs. Also there will be line extensions to several of their existing collections. Oriental Weavers is a member of the ORIA. The perfect time to see all of the new collections will be at Oriental Weavers’ “Take a Bite out of the Big Apple” showroom Grand Opening party at the New York Home Fashions Market on September 10, 2012 from 4:00pm – 7:00pm in their new showroom located on the seventh floor of the 295 5th Avenue Textile Building suite 719. Oriental Weavers will be giving away iPads, iTouchs, and other Apple products every 30 minutes during the party and will be serving signature “Big Appletinis”, cocktails, wine, and hors d’oeuvres. In addition, there will be lunch and afternoon wine and cheese tastings each day of market. Three of Oriental Weavers’ new collections are made in the U.S.A. The new Adrienne collection is bursting with pops of color in shades of deep navy, warm plum, cayenne red, soft tangerine and spa blue. Cool, earthy neutrals provide the perfect backdrop for the intense colors to shine. The rugs are machine woven of soft polypropylene which provides a nice soft hand while high-twist, two-tone yarns add interesting surface texture. Kate is a collection of heat-set, machine-made area rugs in soft, romantic shades such as blush, smoky orchid, slate blue and warm copper. Styling is reminiscent of old world vintage looks with simple traditional and washed transitional pieces Oriental Weavers’ Carson collection is a new plush, machine woven rug collection constructed of textured polypropylene. The mixing of yarn textures and colors results in a warm, inviting look in a pleasing color palette of vibrant paprika, slate blue, rich brown, golden ivory and steel gray. In addition to the three Made in the U.S.A. collections, two collections from the company’s Egyptian manufacturing facility will also make their debut. Temara is a machine-woven collection constructed with a high pile of dense, heavily textured yarns. The patterns are reminiscent of old world tribal craftsmanship in shades of earthy brown, hazy blue, sandy taupe and alabaster. Oriental Weavers will also be expanding to their ever popular indoor/outdoor line of area rugs, and the new Lagos collection may be the best yet. The unique hi-lo effect created by the woven cut pile and flat-weave construction offers a great hand as well as plenty of texture and surface interest. Colors of deep navy, bright red,...
