The Rug Market America To Debut In Atlanta The Nurture Imagination Collection Of Baby and Youth Rugs
The Rug Market America, fashion and on-trend rug manufacturer, will debut its Nurture Imagination Collection of baby and youth rugs during the July 2013 Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings and International Rug Market. The Nurture Imagination Collection rugs are designed to also coordinate with a line of bedding and other children’s products already marketed under the Nurture Imagination brand.
“Our design team and its years of design experience has resulted in an attractive and fun Nurture Imagination collection of rugs that we are excited about introducing this season,” said Mike Shabtai, president, The Rug Market America and Nurture Imagination. “We have been in the children’s business for many years and have designed best-selling products in everything from baby home accessories to bedding and nursery décor.”
The Nurture Imagination bedding and accessory collection already has been well received by major retailers. In July, the combined collections will be on display for buyers in The Rug Market America’s Atlanta showroom B-8 in Building 1, Floor 12.
Over two dozen rugs are within The Rug Market America’s Nurture Imagination baby and youth rug collection. Each design features innovative constructions and is available in multiple sizes. Within the collection are such unique designs as “Birds on a Wire” with colorful feathered friends collecting across the bordered rug for an imagined “online” conversation. In the “Count Off,” large, yet soft, borders are used to surround floating tone-on-tone numeral art for a fun floor covering that can also teach. “First Friends” features whimsical animals living peaceably in a bright green paradise. Suggested retails for Nurture Collection rugs: $99 for 3’ x 5’ and $199 for 5’ x 8’. Sizes are approximate.

Palm Springs Rattan® has launched a diverse collection of decorative lighting built for use in the outdoors. With detailed construction and weather resistant shades, the Palm Springs Rattan Outdoor Lighting is already creating high consumer response.

“Extending the use of outdoor spaces is a growing trend and design objective across outdoor living products today,” said Tami Newton, sales manager, Palm Springs Rattan, Largo, Fla. “ Our fun and functional lighting creates an atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment that will last beyond sundown.”
The initial lighting launch will include eight designs including table and floor models.
