Dear Clients,

Our showroom will be closed for the holidays from Saturday, December 24th until Monday, January 2nd. We will reopen again on Tuesday, January 3rd.

We wish you all a safe and restful Holiday Season, and all the best for 2012.

Sincerely,

The Team at Salari

Gabbeh Collection

Many of the recent website posts have related to our contemporary pieces, but we do continually look out for interesting traditional and tribal pieces as well.

Great pieces have been hard to find lately, but we have just located some beautiful semi-antique Gabbeh pieces on our most recent buying trip, along with some nice smaller Loribaft Gabbehs.

The older pieces possess a beautiful raw quality, with great natural colours and uneven whimsical patterns. Two of the pieces are almost shag-like in nature, with a loose weave and very long pile.

See our Gabbeh Gallery page for more images and sizes. We should be receiving the pieces by mid November.

IDSWest

We are participating in IDSWest again this year - the opening party kicks off tonight!

We look forward to welcoming you all at Booth 535, near the center of the showfloor.

During the event, our showroom will be closed on Friday September 30th and Saturday October 1st. We will reopen again on Monday, October 3rd.

Diurne Series 25 04

Earlier this summer, we were thrilled to collaborate with La Scala, Rolls Royce and Tom Lee Music for an event at the new Rolls Royce Showroom in Vancouver.

A beautiful 9' x 12' carpet from our Parisian supplier, Galerie Diurne, was placed underneath a Steinway & Sons Series D piano, decorated with a Haida motif.

The Diurne carpet in a stunning green is from Diurne's artistic Series collection. The pile is a combination of wool, mohair and 65% silk.

Paulig New Arrivals

We have just received another shipment of our Moroccan handwoven carpets by Paulig. The carpets are made of felted wool, wrapped around a jute core for strength. All three styles are reversible.

- Monza Twister Design. 8' x 10'. Shown in creams and greys. An interesting 3-colour design. Choose from 40 different colour options to create your custom 3-colour design. Also in stock in 6' 6" x 8' in creams and beige tones.

Texere Collection:: (l. to r.): Biosphere, Wave, Playa.

We have just received a number of pieces from the Texere Collection, produced by Lapchi. In contrast to their contemporary carpets handcrafted in Nepal, the Texere collection is handknotted in Pakistan.

By using vegetable dyes and an overtwisted wool, Lapchi is able to produce beautiful shading in these carpets, with a wonderful depth to the colours.

In addition to the pieces we have in stock, the Texere collection can also be custom-ordered in any size, and colours can be adapted to suit your interior.

Diurne New Arrivals

We have just received a number of full-sized pieces from our Parisian supplier Diurne. Pictured above are three 8' x 10' pieces, (l. to r.): the Aminima collection, the Kimono collection, and the Reflet collection.

We have more images and samples of these collections available for viewing in our showroom.

Salsa Lounge Shipment

We have just received a shipment of Salsa Lounge Poufs in assorted sizes and colours. We will post a page of current stock with images shortly.

Office in Mitchell Freedland Show Suite

We were thrilled to work with Vancouver's leading designers, as they were commissioned to design and furnish a number of the showsuites at Millennium Water in False Creek (the site of the Olympic Village.)

We supplied the carpets for the following designers' suites: Alda Pereira Design, BYU Design, CHIL Design Group, Kodu Design, Ledingham Design Consultants and Mitchell Freedland Design.

We were given the opportunity to photograph our carpets in these suites, and have uploaded the images to our installation gallery. To jump directly to the images, click on this link. If you would like to see some of our other installations, click on the "Installations" link in the top menu bar.

Salsa Lounge Room Shot

Arriving just in time for the IDSWest show last week, we were pleased to introduce the new Salsa Lounge ottomans from our supplier Paulig.

These pieces can be used as ottomans, footstools, or simply as additional seating when you need it. Their organic shape and natural felted wool surface are very attractive, and they look great even as sculptural elements in a space.

Available in 3 different sizes (see below) and in all 22 Salsa colours.
