Kalaty Rug Corp. will open a permanent High Point showroom in space 202 on the second floor of historic Market Square in time for the upcoming spring market.

New York City-based Kalaty also has a permanent showroom at the AmericasMart in Atlanta.

Since 2007, Kalaty has shown at the High Point market in a small space within the showroom of high-end upholstery and case goods manufacturer Highland House on the fourth floor of Market Square. In this new permanent showroom, Kalaty will be able to feature a broader selection of rugs from its vast collections at the annual fall and spring High Point markets.

"We are pleased to be opening a High Point showroom," said Ariel Kalaty, a company spokesman. "High Point is an important market for us, and we feel that the historic architectural backdrop of Market Square is the ideal place to showcase our full line of rug collections, which ranges from contemporary to transitional to traditional designs. Having a permanent High Point showroom is one aspect of a broader and more aggressive sales and marketing plan which includes better serving our current customer base as well as our desire to forge new and lasting relationships within the furniture community with manufacturers, furniture dealers and designers."
