| NATIONAL ORIENTAL RUG SHOW TEMPORARIES MOVE TO AMERICASMART 7TH FLOOR |
ATLANTA -- January 2017 marks the National Oriental Rug Show's relocation to a new location. Sponsored by AmericasMart and co-sponsored by the Oriental Rug Importers Association, NORS' Area Rug temporaries will move to Building 1, Floor 7 alongside temporary exhibitors in other home product categories.
The move advances AmericasMart's continued integration of Home and Rug product throughout its home decor and home accents collections. The reimagined temporary presentation encourages rug retailers to explore the home decor collection and home buyers to source trend-setting rug merchandise.
"We are very excited about the new location, which will definitely increase exposure for our exhibitors," said Lucille Laufer, executive director, ORIA. "With Temporary rugs featured in designated rug spaces within the home section, we are looking forward to good traffic and good opportunities for cross-merchandising products and customers."
"AmericasMart sets home decor trends from floor to ceiling," added Kevin Malkiewicz, vice president of Leasing for the permanent and temporary rug collections. "Our new temporary location lets our valued rug manufacturers showcase their trendsetting product like never before."
In addition to the dedicated rug space on Floor 7, rugs also appear in the Decor| Light and Lifestyles, Antiques and High Design temporary collections at the January 2017 market.
