Renovations, Stylized Design Set Stage at Americas

Atlanta, GA, November 14, 2006--Three of AmericaMart’s Area Rug Center exhibitors are embracing the power of change with comprehensive showroom renovations. Amici Imports (6F11), Ebison Harounian Imports (5F5) and Dynamic Rugs (3C5) each will debut newly-designed showrooms at the January 2007 edition of the Atlanta International Area Rug Market® featuring the National Oriental Rug Show (NORS), January 18—21. New styling brings new colors, textures, surfaces and lighting to Ebison Harounian Imports (5F5). A neutral color palette, faux finished floors and new fixtures give the 3,200 square-foot showroom a distinctly elegant yet warm and inviting ambiance. “Ebison’s is again renewing its commitment to Atlanta,” says Michael Harounian, principal. “For area rug and home furnishings retailers Atlanta is the place to shop. It is the largest and most prestigious home to manufacturers and importers selling handmade and machine-made rugs,” continues Harounian. Maryland-based Dynamic Rugs’ renovation coincides with the company’s 10th anniversary. A total renovation of the 3,200 square-foot, third floor jewel,featuring new flooring, lighting, and color schemes, presents a cool, sophisticated, thoroughly modern approach to retailing. In celebration, Dynamic Rugs will host a party on Friday evening, January 19, from 5—7 p.m. Open to all area rug retailers, a complimentary cocktail buffet will be served. “We’re planting our roots here,” says Matthew Rouhanian, president. “Atlanta is the only true area rug market. We thought it appropriate to celebrate new beginnings and new lines with a new, completely contemporary look.”
