Persian rugs are at the heart of the Rugman.com story. As a pioneer in the online Persian rug and Oriental rug marketplace, Rugman.com blends over 70 years of experience in the traditional, handmade rug trade with modern e-commerce innovations.
Led by Aslan Mirkalami, our founder and a 3rd generation rug dealer, we were the first to blend modern etail techniques with old-world craftsmanship. In 1998, frustrated by the inability to easily exhibit our entire rug collection, we took a chance and ventured into the online marketplace-our first rugs sold quickly. We had found an ideal way of showing our customers the full depth of our collection and ensuring that we could sell them the perfect hand-knotted rug for their home.

With the success of the web-based venture, we gradually closed our 8 stores and moved exclusively online.

"Designers and manufacturers are currently under pressure to make greener products. The will is there, but the expertise is lagging," says Terry Swack, co-founder and CEO of Sustainable Minds. "Our mission is to bring environmental sustainability to mainstream product design. It starts with increasing awareness and then delivering knowledge, strategies, processes and tools – not just to educators, designers and engineers, but to all types of people who have input into product design and manufacturing decisions. These workshops help product teams understand the impact of their design decisions holistically and early enough in the process so they are empowered to create a greener product from the start."
Previous attendees confirm the practical outcomes of a workshop designed to help a company accelerate their greener product design vision. “The potential is amazing – there’s huge opportunity for product designers to grow and bring even more relevance to a large organization. The process is really accessible,” states Greg Provost, a lecturer from Rhode Island School of Design and former Global Design Lead for Gillette.

The one-day intensive hands-on workshop "Mastering Environmental Impact Assessment in the Design Process," is next scheduled for June 26th in New York City and July 11th in San Francisco. Workshop tuition is $995 and includes the workshop and annual software subscription. Visit www.sustainableminds.com to register and for more information.
