An anniversary, new collaborations and HP Market events | Rug Report

This week’s rug news includes collaborations with designers Norman Wyatt, Ashley Tisdale and the Sanderson Design Group, a heads-up about some events at this month’s High Point Market and a golden anniversary.

**************************

This year, rug company Momeni is celebrating 50 years in business which marks a major milestone for the family-run rug company founded in 1975 by Haji Ali Momeni and his eldest son, Ed.

Today, the company officials said they are focused on the future, guided by third-generation family members and a long-term strategy centered around product innovation, supply chain strength and evolving market trends.

From its roots in handmade Persian imports, company officials say they have transcended shifts in global production due to changing geopolitical landscapes, expanding sourcing to India, Pakistan, China and Turkey, while consistently responding to market shifts.

Today, three generations work side by side. Alex Momeni, Katy Repetto, and Kian Momeni now help lead operations, design and logistics.

Recent launches like the Playground collection, along with continued partnerships with designers such as Erin Gates, reflect the brand’s commitment to reaching new audiences.

Family members said that Momeni remains focused on long-term growth while staying true to the values that have guided it for five decades.

The company invites all attendees of the upcoming High Point Market to celebrate with them during them on Saturday, April 26th at 4 p.m. in the company’s showroom, IHFC H-345.

Ruggable has unveiled a new collection in partnership with the Sanderson Design Group, a luxury home furnishings company based in the U.K.

The collection offers Sanderson’s trademark whimsy, pushing the boundaries of traditional heritage designs.

“At Ruggable, our mission is to create beautiful, livable spaces for all. For our new collection with Sanderson, we’re thrilled to bring the enchanting designs of Sanderson to life, paired with the convenience of our washable rugs,” said Cassandrea Leisz, Ruggable senior creative director. “Featuring whimsical colors, playful creatures and elegant floral motifs, these styles strike the perfect balance of bold sophistication, ideal for every member of the family.”

The collaboration leans into two distinct design concepts:

• Southern Charm, with its Palm Beach-inspired aesthetic that offers bright, tropical botanicals balanced with sandy neutrals
• Woodland Gardens, which is reminiscent of romantic English woodland flora and fauna, with touches of whimsy and calming colors

The collections also feature romantic florals, charming patterns and magical motifs. The imaginative designs provide a timeless aesthetic for all ages.

“We are delighted to partner with Ruggable, presenting a charming rug collection where our iconic florals and heritage botanicals take on new interpretations in new and exciting ways,” said Claire Vallis, Sanderson design director. “Drawn from our archive of designs, each print evokes an air of romance, charm, and magic, reflecting Sanderson’s history and embracing the enduring beauty of florals. As a brand, we celebrate and honor our layers of legacy.”

Ruggable applied the archive prints in new and exciting ways by adapting the scale and combining key motifs from core iconic Sanderson patterns to create exclusive rug designs.

Sanderson’s playful designs are paired with Ruggable’s signature durability and washability to offer the perfect centerpiece for entertaining or a cozy night in with family.

This collection of magical rugs consists of 13 styles available in flatwoven and tufted styles. Each rug is available in various sizes on Ruggable.com, starting at $129.

Actress turned designer Ashley Tisdale has created new spring/summer refreshes for partner Rugs USA.

Tisdale said the exclusive collection of outdoor rugs embodies her signature California-cool aesthetic, with a decidedly elevated edge.

“I wanted to curate a collection that was ready for summer because I love a good outdoor rug,” said Tisdale. “I am so into the California kinda laid laid-back luxury, so I felt like these rugs really spoke to me. They’re neutral, earthy, you know I love a good stripe.”

Curated through her lifestyle and interiors brand, Frenshe, the collection features a sophisticated palette of warm neutrals, refined stripes and artisanal textures designed to bring the same sense of comfort and elegance you expect indoors to any outdoor space. Each rug is thoughtfully designed for style and performance—UV-resistant, mold and mildew resistant, and made to elevate even the most high-traffic spaces.
