TROY, N.C. – Three best-selling new rugs will be making their West Coast debut in the Capel Rugs showroom at the Las Vegas Market, Space A-133 of the World Market Center, January 25-29.
Reflecting the broad range of creative styles, fashionable color palettes and quality constructions within Capel’s line, these latest winning designs include affordably priced hand-loomed and machine-made designs. All three new collections drew rave reviews from retailers and designers for their fresh looks and strong values during the fall markets, where they were formally introduced.
ABOVE: ANTISSA IN MOSSIn the hand loomed rug category, Capel Rugs is showcasing Antissa, a new jacquard design inspired by the serene landscapes and ancient ruins of Aegean towns. Crafted in India with a wool and viscose blend, Antissa is available in five color ways - moss, coal, tide, shell and dune. It is offered in three sizes – 5’ x 8’, 7’9” x 9’9” and 9’ x 12’. A 5’ x 8’ rug may retail for under $1,199.
“Antissa’s undefined patterns echo ancient themes of layered stone and flowing water, grounding today’s living spaces in quiet elegance and natural beauty,” said Cameron Capel, president – sales and marketing for Capel Rugs. “They’re expressive yet understated and complement both minimalist and richly layered spaces with their timeless texture and subtle depth.”
At the winter Las Vegas Market, Capel Rugs also is showing two new machine-made collections – Galata and Manor.
ABOVE: GALATA HERIZ IN RUSTIQUEGalata is a new traditional collection with an abstract appeal. Machine-woven in Turkey of 100% polyester for durability and easy care, each rug carries the soul of classical themes from the past, such as faded medallions, while fresh, asymmetrical strokes bring a vibrant new rhythm to each design.
Galata is available in three patterns and 10 colorways with a 3/8-inch pile. They include Abstract, in stone, slate, shore and sea mist colorways; Heriz, in moss, limestone and rustique colorways; and Keshan, in shadow, ash and ember. Four sizes are available: 5’3” x 7’10, 7’10” x 10’, 9’x 12’5” and a 3’x 9’6” runner. A 5’3” x 7’10” rug may retail for under $499.
“Galata was inspired by our travels through the winding streets of Istanbul,” Capel said. “It’s a timeless place where the old city’s whispers meet the hum of modern life.”
Manor – the second new machine made collection debuting in Las Vegas – honors classic design with enduring sophistication. Crafted in India from 80% wool and 20% nylon, each piece blends elegant Old World charm with modern durability.
Colorways include earl gray, sagefield, taupe, cream, indigo multi, cadet and pewter. Four sizes are available, including 5’ x 7’6”, 7’9” x 10’, 9’ x 12’5” and a 2’6” x 10’ runner. A 5’x 7’6” rug may retail for under $1,199.
“Inspired by heritage motifs – Persian florals, architectural borders and faded medallions – the Manor collection brings the warmth and grandeur of a stately estate into contemporary homes,” Capel said. “The wool pile offers a rich texture underfoot, while subtle variations in tone and detail lend each rug a gently lived-in character.”
Seeking to add an extra element of fun to the market shopping experience, Capel Rugs also is offering a special giveaway with each purchase at the Las Vegas Market tied to the expansion of its popular Serengeti animal print collection.
“We’re giving away a leopard plushie with each purchase,” said Capel. “This gift celebrates the reintroduction of our Serengeti line with two exciting new rugs – Antelope in sky and Leopard in sky.”
A hand tufted, 100% wool collection made in India, Serengeti is versatile enough to complement any interior style from traditional to modern. Its unique designs effortlessly combine the beauty of nature-inspired patterns with neutral and tone-on-tone colorways and lovely textures. Fine pile yarns looped for strong resilience enhance the pattern detail.
With the latest additions, Serengeti now features four patterns and nine colorways. They include Antelope, in beige and sky; Cheetah, in river, ash and plains; Leopard, in natural, taupe and sky; and Zebra, in ash and beige.
Four standard sizes are offered – 2’6” x 8’, 5’ x 8’, 7’9” x 10’ and 9’ x 12’ – and custom sizes also are available. A 5’ x 8’ size may retail for under $499.
ABOVE: ABACOS IN LAGOONAnother new nature-inspired collection debuting in the Capel showroom this market is Abacos. Hand tufted in India of 100% wool, Abacos features free-form, high-low, irregular geometric shapes that resemble natural elements. Three nature-themed colorways are offered – lagoon, mangrove and coconut husk – in a choice of three sizes – 5’ x 8’, 7’9” x 10’ and 9’ x 12’. A 5’ x 8’ rug may retail for under $449.
“Abacos is modern yet casual,” Capel said. “The patterns’ shapes are non-representational and asymmetrical, which aligns with modern organic or biomorphic design styles. The collection’s distinct patterns and fresh colorways also make these rugs versatile enough for any room in the home."
