Last week we worked with our friends at Real Simple to create a rug for their vignette at the Design on a Dime event in NYC. The event is one of the most popular interior design charity events in the city every year, and all proceeds benefitĀ Housing Works, the country’s largest grassroots AIDS service organization.
Last year we donated an Abaca rug to the Real Simple room, and this year we selected a large Marrakech rug with a bright yellow border to match some of the other accents in the room. So fun! We can’t wait to see more photos in the September issue of Real Simple.

Merida rugs also appeared in two other vignettes at this event. Stay tuned for more photos!
If you are working on a show house or charity event in your area and are interested in using a Merida rug, please contact us at marketing@meridameridian.com.
