    I started working at Gertmenian in 1996 as a warehouse employee unloading merchandise from containers. Shortly after, 2 years, I became responsible for keeping track of merchandise from each container. Today, I am a Floor Supervisor leading a team of employees to do the same along with tackling day to day warehousing projects. Every day I strive to come in a positive attitude for my team in order to achieve goals, ultimately contributing to Gertmenian’ s growth.

  • How to Pick the Right Size Rug

    CARE + TIPS FAQs How to Pick the Right Size Rug By taking these factors into account, you can select the right size rug that not only fits the physical dimensions of the space but also enhances the overall design and functionality of the room. Consider room shape and dimensions. The rug should lie underneath all furniture otherwise the rug may lead to make your room appear small and tight. Suggest buying an 8x10 or 9x13 for your living room or bedroom area. Have the rug exposed on edges of furniture, curate a balanced and visually appealing border look around your furniture.

  • Culture | Rug Design, Manufacturing, & Distribution | Gertmenian

    Rug weaving has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with techniques and materials evolving over time. In recent years, modern rug weaving has seen a surge of innovation as designers and manufacturers seek to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics and technology. One significant innovation in modern rug weaving is the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software. This technology allows designers to create intricate patterns and designs with greater precision and detail than ever before. Another important development is the use of new materials and fibers in rug weaving. In addition to traditional materials such as wool and silk, today’s rugs may also incorporate synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene (olefin). These materials can offer greater durability, stain resistance, softness, and colorfastness, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and/or outdoor use. Advancements in weaving technology have also made it possible to create rugs with greater speed and efficiency. Power looms and automated machinery can produce rugs at a much faster pace than traditional hand weaving, while still maintaining high levels of quality and craftsmanship. Finally, modern rug weaving has also seen a renewed interest in traditional techniques and craftsmanship. Many manufacturers are working with skilled artisans to create rugs that are hand-woven using age-old techniques, such as knotting, tufting, and flat weaving. These traditional methods not only produce beautiful and unique rugs, but also support local communities and preserve cultural heritage. For over a century, rug weaving has continued to embraced innovation in design, materials, technology, and craftsmanship, resulting in a wide range of beautiful and functional rugs that reflect both tradition and contemporary sensibilities.
