Meet the most exciting event that’s occurring between September 7-10th, the Rugshow 2019, an event specialized in ornamental rugs, that celebrates the most loved home accessories. As a non-profit industry association, it was born to celebrate the industry’s products, promoting and expanding the insiders’ knowledge through a consortium of different rug industry members, largely from North America: the aim is to organize events and devise new promotion plans to let themselves known to the whole design world.
The Rugshow is the perfect place for brands to promote their products and to establish valid and powerful connections with their peers. Born in 2012, the event tries to change the traditional approach often used by this kind of organizations – i.e. incapable of complying with exhibitors and buyers’ requests – in a more open community, run by existing exhibitors, the perfect choices when it comes to promote high-end area rugs and the quality craftsmanship behind them to outsiders. Do you want to know more about the design event? Here is the Rugshow 2019 Event Guide!
