The Ghazni Rug from Momeni, winner of the award in the $0 to $100 machine made category at the America's Magnificent Carpet Awards.
| At the industry's signature event, AmericasMart's Magnificent Carpet Awards, Momeni took the prize for machine made rugs in the $0 to $100 category for its Ghazni collection rug G7-05 in Navy, made in Turkey of heat set polypropylene to emulate fine quality Ghazni wool. Reza Momeni, Momeni president, told RugNews.com he is optimistic about strong sales in the New Year of rugs and furniture in all distribution channels, primarily as a correlation to increased housing starts. To that point, the company officially launched its new accent furniture line, M2 in a separate boutique space adjacent to its AmericasMart showroom. | 
Leather and chrome contemporary furniture from the new M2 line by Momeni officially debuted at Atlanta market.
| The line, now stocked and ready to ship, had been in soft launch for about a year while a collection of 100 SKUs was quietly being assembled. Geared to interior designers and better furniture stores, it includes contemporary and transitional accent tables and accessories, most pieces in leather and metal at retails from $500 to $1500. Aria Momeni said the response had been very positive and that the move into furniture is a natural extension of the Momeni brand. In rugs, the company also launched the Artisan Collection, which is hand knotted of wool and the Bloomsbury collection of William Morris-inspired patterns of hand hooked wool in addition to the Ghazni collection. The new rug and accent furniture lines will be shown at Las Vegas Market at space WMC B-425. For more on Momeni's 40th anniversary, click here. 01.16.15
