AT-09 from 828 International's Athena Collection

AT-11 from 828 International's Athena Collection

GREENVILLE, SC, January 1, 2009—A kaleidoscopic arrangement of designs fills 828 International's new Athena Collection. Crisp, yet intricately detailed motifs are patterned in succession across solid-colored fields, giving each rug an illusionary, stain-glass effect.

A beautiful array of colors, ranging from soft shades of celadon, slate and ivory are included in the line along with bold blacks. It's a selection that promotes versatility and encourages multiple sales since many of the colorways complement one another.

Power loomed of heat-set polypropylene, Athena offers incredible value in sizes that range from 2 x 8 to 10 x 13. Two roll runner widths of 26.5" and 31.5" also make these patterns a wonderful choice for hallways and stairs. Suggested retail is $299 for a 5.3.x 7.7.

828 International's Athena Collection will make its debut at the Atlanta Rug Market in showroom 6F1 and 3.
