Tufenkian Import/Export
Tufenkian Carpets is the worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of hand crafted area rugs, and a recognized innovator in the implementation of social and economic development programs in poor countries.
Based in the historic Flatiron District of Manhattan, the company is widely recognized as the trendsetter in its industry. Its products are regularly featured in designer show houses and prestigious home-fashion magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decor and others. The company has grown rapidly and consistently since its inception, and has recently expanded production from its base in Nepal to newly developed facilities in Armenia.
Founded in 1986 by its owner and lead designer, James Tufenkian, the company has grown from a handful of employees in New York City and 100 in Nepal, to over 50 in North America and 10,000 in Nepal and Armenia. An avid proponent of utilizing economic development to stimulate social change, Tufenkian's worldwide activities have financed a crafts village in Nepal, bringing much needed educational, medical and housing facilities to the exiled Tibetan and Nepalese craftsmen working in this Third World Nation. James continues to expand on his economic development activities in the former Soviet republic of Armenia, creating enterprises, teaching skills and values, and working towards establishment of a prosperous, democratic nation.
