Who is
Sphinx? Easily described as a landmark year in world events, 1991 saw the
end of the Soviet Union, the first free elections in history for Taiwan, and
the launch of the Hubble space telescope. Terminator 2 was tops at the box
office and America witnessed one of the most riveting Super Bowls of all
time. The year 1991 was also a landmark occasion for Oriental Weavers. With
the introduction of the Sphinx Division, Oriental Weavers opened up a whole
new category in the American rug market bringing decorative rugs to the
United States.
But who is Sphinx? Quite simply, Sphinx is the area rug market¹s leader in
color, style, and quality. Designed around today¹s lifestyle, Sphinx area
rugs set trends. Offering only the finest materials combined with the
highest construction standards in the industry, the name Sphinx has come to
be synonymous with quality and value. Sphinx rugs can be kept and enjoyed
for years, but are affordable enough to change as often as consumers
redecorate.
The Orientals Group, the parent organization of Sphinx, is a multinational
organization based in Cairo, Egypt and incorporates several companies
dedicated to the production of woven rugs and carpeting. Oriental Weavers,
the flagship of the Orientals Group, is one of the biggest names in rugs
today, and now, for over a decade, the Sphinx Division of Oriental Weavers
brings the advantages of this vertically integrated corporation to the
American consumer.
