Safavieh to produce Martha Stewart rugs
Rug producer Safavieh will produce a licensed area rug line with design maven Martha Stewart. Safavieh principal Arash Yaraghi said the multi-year contract with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia gives Safavieh the exclusive license for Martha Stewart-branded area rugs, and that the first collection is scheduled for introduction at the Atlanta rug market in January 2007.
