Ernesta, the innovative home design brand known for its custom-sized, designer-quality rugs, opened its first showroom in the heart of New York's prestigious Upper East Side at 1052 Lexington Avenue.
A private lounge is available for professional designers to review samples with clients, making the selection process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Founded in November 2022 by John Foley, Hisao Kushi, and Yony Feng, the brains behind the Peloton phenomenon, Ernesta has quickly made a name for itself.

With a direct-to-consumer business model, the company has been able to offer design-focused custom rugs that promise to elevate any space they grace.
The 800-square-foot showroom is a haven for design professionals and enthusiasts alike. It provides an unparalleled opportunity to view Ernesta's full collection in person, allowing customers to touch, feel, and truly appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of each rug.
John Foley, CEO of Ernesta, expressed his excitement about the new showroom, stating, "Our New York City showroom will be a destination for the local design community to connect with like-minded design enthusiasts, seek design support, and browse the Ernest rug catalog in person."
The showroom's strategic location on the Upper East Side is no coincidence. This area is known for its affluent residents and high concentration of design professionals, making it the perfect spot for Ernesta to plant its roots.
Open to the public Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the showroom offers flexibility for busy New Yorkers and design aficionados to explore at their convenience.
