Beaded Curtain

We are pleased to introduce Lapchi, a collection of exquisite handknotted Tibetan carpets. Lapchi's designs are inspired by textile motifs ranging from Spanish 14th-century pieces to contemporary European and Eastern patterns.

Lapchi offers numerous custom-capabilities for designers and architects looking to create the perfect match for their project.

We will be creating a Lapchi section on our website soon, which will provide more details on these great pieces.

We are pleased to announce that we have just received our latest pieces from Barbara Barry's Radiance Collection.

The collection consists of 8 different designs, in a total of 20 colour-ways. As with all of Barry's designs, the patterns are elegant and timeless. This latest collection introduces some very interesting textural elements, including combinations of sculpted pile, loop-pile, and silk-accents.

The pieces are hand-knotted by Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, and are available in stock sizes from 3' x 5' to 12 'x 16'.

In our showroom, we carry a selection of these carpets in 6' x 9', 8' x 10', as well as a number of 3' x 5' samples.

Interior Design Magazine showcased fabric designer Mark Pollack's collection of carpets in their July 2008 issue. The collection is produced in collaboration with Tufenkian Artisan Carpets and consists of eight designs in multiple colourways. The pieces are handknotted with Tibetan highland wool and some use silk to accent specific parts of the design.

Of the carpets shown in the article, we currently have Mod in stock in an 8' x 10' size, and we have full-colour images of the whole collection in our showroom. As with all of Tufenkian's carpets, most of the designs are readily available in stock sizes from 3' x 5' to 10' x 14', and custom sizes can be ordered as well.

Another of Pollock's Designs in the collection, Tiki, is featured in the September 2008 Issue of Veranda magazine.

We have added information on one of our great new lines, Diurne, to the Modern section of the website. Diurne's modern carpet line is created by Paris-based artist Marcel Zelmanovitch. His designs are inspired by the world around him and he masterfully transforms his vision into spectacular carpets.

Apart from the unique designs and quality, Diurne's strength is in custom production. Typical Diurne orders will alter a particular design's size, shape or colours to suit the specific room requirements. Diurne's ability to deliver consistently exceptional service is the reason they are one of Europe's top design resources.

Please take a moment to read more about the line, and to view example images from the collection.

We have just received our latest shipment of modern carpets produced by Tufenkian Artisan Carpets. Some of the highlights include pieces by designers Vincente Wolf, Mark Pollack (the designer behind Pollack fine fabrics), and Kevin Walz.

Pieces range from classic Arts & Crafts to ultra-modern textured wool and silk rugs. Colours range from exquisite reds to subtle earth tones to edgy silver and greys.

We stock a good number of room-sized 8' x 10' pieces, which also serve as samples from which smaller or larger sizes can be ordered. Tufenkian is one of the few producers stocking various sizes of their designs, and many are available in a matter of weeks instead of the customary 4-6 months.

After three months closed for renovations, we are finally open.

As before, we are open from Tuesday to Saturday from 11 AM. to 5:30 PM. And by appointment on Sunday and Monday.

We look forward to seeing you in our improved and updated new showroom.

The IDSWest show was a great success for us, and we made many great connections with retail and trade clients. Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth and said hello.

At the tradeshow, we exhibited mainly pieces from our contemporary collections. Barbara Barry's new line, Radiance, received a lot of attention, particularly the Sequins design (shown in the image to the right). The mix of wool and silk really adds to the textural feel of this carpet.

The Kimono collection by Diurne of Paris was also very popular (two pieces shown on the floor). These pieces are inspired by historic Japanese Kimono prints, which the artist Marcel Zelmanovich has interpreted into his contemporary carpet designs. If you have not seen them at the show, please drop by our showroom to view the original images on which these great carpets are based. We will be adding more information on this great line and Marcel Zelmanovich's other collections to our website shortly.

Our showroom is set to open later this week - we are just putting the final touches on, so we look forward to seeing you in our brand new space!

We will be exhibiting again this year at IDSWest, Vancouver's premier residential design event. The tradeshow will be held at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 19th to the 22nd, and is open to the trade as well as to the public.

At the show, we will be launching an exclusive new line by Barbara Barry called "Radiance", a collection of eight beautiful designs in multiple colourways. These exquisite Tibetan carpets, some a blend of wool and silk, are knotted by Tufenkian Artisan Carpets. Come see us in booth 700 to view samples of these wonderful carpets.

The tradeshow also marks the launching point for our newly renovated showroom. After a two-month renovation, we will re-open our doors right after the show, on Tuesday March 25th. Our booth at IDSWest will give you a glimpse of what to expect when you visit our new space.

We have started the renovation of our showroom as of today. While the renovation is taking place, we will continue to serve you through our in-home consultation process. We would be happy to meet with you in your home to discuss your specific carpet needs.

To book an appointment, please leave us a message at 604.261.3555, or e-mail us at info@salari.com.
