Company C Receives ARTS Award for Area Rugs

ART, the non-profit Accessories Resource Team, and the Dallas Market Center presented Company C with the ARTS Award for Area Rugs at its 24th annual gala held during the recent Total Home and Gift Market Show in Dallas, Texas. The ARTS Award program is the only international program in which retailers, manufacturers and sales representatives are celebrated by their peers for excellence in 25 different categories across the decorative home accessories industry.

Company C was selected to receive the award for area rugs in recognition for its ongoing commitment to develop fresh, colorful designs that combine quality craftsmanship with details that create fashionable products with enduring style and value. This is a repeat win for Company C; the company received this same prestigious award in 2007.

“Exceeding the expectations of customers through beautiful design and attention to detail is tremendously important to us,” said Chris Chapin, Co-Founder of Company C. “We work extremely hard to bring new color palettes and impeccable designs to market. So, to receive this award from our industry peers is humbling and deeply, deeply appreciated.”

Walter Chapin, Co-Founder of Company C, added, “It is wonderful that ART and the home furnishings industry continue to hold Company C in such high regard. Winning this award and being named ‘Best of the Best’ validates that we are bringing the right products to market. We couldn’t be more thrilled and are proud of the efforts of everyone across our organization!”

About the Award
The annual ARTS Awards invites industry members to nominate their peers for excellence in 25 categories that span development of product, retail merchandising and sales representation across decorative home accessories. Peer voting takes place over several months each spring and summer before a panel of industry experts invite finalists to submit presentations that are vetted until ultimate winners are selected. Nominees do not have to exhibit at the Dallas Market Center nor be a member of ART to be considered.
