The company has a "need" for a presence at the New York market, said Steve Mazarakis, who heads the company's rug division. "Many of our key accounts only go to New York for rugs, so we needed to be there. I will have a rack with key products for my appointments. I also will be showing scatter rugs for those same key accounts."

New products being launched will include power-loomed as well as hand-tufted area rugs in contemporary and transitional designs, new colorways in flokati and berber rugs from Greece, Brazilian cow hides styles and a new scatter rug program in an assortment on constructions that includes leather, cotton, chenille, jute and others.
