Since the launch in 2007, Organic Looms’ handcrafted rug collections have been synonymous with quality, value, sustainability and complete customization and recently have expanded its in-stock options.

The new Organic Looms showroom provides a convenient location for the interior design community and end-users alike to preview new offerings. Organic Looms President Christopher Frederick positions the brand as an industry leader and a true destination for custom sustainable handcrafted rugs.

The new showroom features an open layout with 10-foot high ceilings and five rug piles. The high ceilings create a perfect backdrop for the full size rugs to be hung down the length of the showroom in gallery style.  The space will stock hundreds of rugs with additional pieces available at an offsite warehouse.

“Natural lighting and great task lighting are essential in the new space”, says Frederick.  “We hope to have designers use the new showroom as a working studio where they can spread out their materials and develop custom rugs for their clients.”

Frederick is launching the Scottsdale showroom and permanently moving his family from Chicago. Frederick is an active part of all buying decisions, keeping the brand’s design aesthetic and vision in tact.

“My family and I have visited Scottsdale for a number of years and love the people and the scenery. We are excited for a new adventure and for the warm weather- a welcome change from Chicago’s cold winters”, says Frederick.  “We have heard wonderful things about the design community in Arizona and look forward to meeting the designers, architects and homeowners and showing them what we have to offer.  Whether it is a modern loft in downtown Phoenix or a rustic weekend home in Sedona, we have rugs to cover the gamut.”

Other highlights of the space include a television monitor highlighting the rug making process and travels abroad, soft grey wood floors and a beautiful patio perfect for meetings and to view the rugs and colors in natural sunlight.  The overall color palette of the new showroom is clean, white and bright- showcasing Organic Looms’ vibrant offerings.

Frederick was first introduced to the fine rug industry in 2006 and rapidly made contacts with the families and artisans who create these fine works of art. His passion for travel has allowed him to celebrate the rich culture, history and techniques of the Tibetan and Indian peoples and share them with the US.

Each project is approached collaboratively by directly communicating with the artisans via weekly Skype sessions.  Through the Organic Looms Custom Connect Program, seamless communication is achieved resulting in quality control and customer satisfaction.

Organic Looms is expanding its current robust collections with the addition of several new patterns, which include Rampur, Benares, Mahal, Mamluk and Vintage Turkish while bolstering their existing Tibetan and Linen Sumac Collections with new patterns.  The new collections are marked by soft, plush textures, durability and design simplicity.
