Designed for use outdoors, Finesse Lattice is being offered for the first time to buyers. Capel is also adding a new easy care rug with Sunbrella border that uses an exclusive Biltmore® by Castelle fabric. Both rugs will be featured in both the Capel Rugs (Market Square, Space 112) and Castelle (IHFC Main Wing, Spaces 101 and 105) showrooms, where it will be shown as part of the company's Biltmore® by Castelle outdoor furniture presentation.

"We always want to make it as fun and easy as possible for our retailers and designers to visit us at market," said Cameron Capel, president — sales and marketing for Capel Rugs. "This market, we have an assortment of dynamic new designs to share that will help retailers and designers generate lots of excitement — and sales —with their own customers."

Capel Rugs is debuting three dynamic new designs from its popular Kevin O'Brien line. Two of the collections take inspiration from places that have a special place in O'Brien's heart. Gilded Age is based on sketches O'Brien did of damask fabrics seen in a historic church interior in Paris, the city where he proposed to his wife. Willow is based on drawings O'Brien did during the couple's honeymoon in Kyoto, Japan. Brushstrokes began with a joyful splash of color in the artist's sketchbook that has been transformed into a casual/transitional design.

Each day during market, Capel Rugs will be serving fresh-roasted Starbucks coffee to its showroom visitors. In the late afternoon, the company also will hold a cocktail hour for attendees.
