New eye-catching designs will mingle with the more traditional approaches as rug manufacturers from all over the world gather Jan. 20-23 for the Atlanta Area Rug Market. Manufacturers set to attend say displays on the show floor will demonstrate that even the most impressive technological advances in manufacturing have not crowded out the demand for hand woven, finely crafted product.
Indeed, while much of the discussion on the show floor in Atlanta will, as always, center on durable fibers, pricing trends and other business matters, veteran attendees assure that there will be ample reminders that this is still a highly fashion oriented business whose growth is fueled by creativity.
