A special one-on-one time with Bunyaad Rug Director Yousaf Chaman as part of our Annual Fair Trade Rug Event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTea time is an integral part of every Pakistani workplace & household.

This is an all-ages experience designed to be enjoyed together. \n\n\n\nSeats (and bricks!) are limited\, so reserve yours now! \n\n\n\n\nRESERVE YOUR SPOT AT THE BUILDING TABLE >>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPrepare For The Rug Event\n\n\n\nWe host this special rug event to bring these high quality\, fairly traded hand-knotted rugs to your community. Since the rugs will be here for just a few days\, we encourage you to do a little prep. \n\n\n\n\nWhen you visit our rug event\, bring swatches of materials and upholstery\, paint chips and pillows to help you choose a rug that will blend with your decor.\n\n\n\nMeasure your room as well as the area you would want your rug to cover. Large rugs are impressive while smaller rugs can be more versatile. Be flexible in sizing and you will increase the number of rugs to choose from.\n\n\n\nRemember that a rug made with high quality materials will last for generations\, while your furniture\, upholstery and home will change.\n\n\n\nConsider rugs that speak to you\, rather than one that simply matches its surroundings. Be open to taking rugs home on approval\, keeping in mind the rug you finally choose may not be the rug you first selected.\n\n\n\n\nView Rugs in Homes Galleries \n\n\n\nShare with your Friends and Neighbors\n\n\n\nIt’s an event not to miss as these fairly traded rugs represent a win-win situation for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE\n\n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER
