SURYA TEAMS UP TO MARCH FOR BABIES 4.21.16

Surya employees, friends and family members will participate in the 2016 March for Babies, an annual walk scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 6, in Cartersville, Ga. Sponsored by the March of Dimes, the March for Babies program was created to support moms in having healthy, full-term pregnancies while also raising awareness of premature birth, and generating funds to research causes and preventions.

Premature birth is the leading cause of infant death in the United States, where one in ten babies enters the world too soon. Babies who survive an early birth may experience lifelong health problems such as cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, and learning disabilities. According to physicians, at least 50 percent of premature births are preventable if a woman receives prenatal care.

“At Surya, we are dedicated to furthering the well-being of children and their families,” said Satya Tiwari, president, Surya. “Through our Miles for Meals initiative, we’ve seen firsthand the powerful difference that can be made when communities come together for a common cause. As a new father of healthy twin boys, I know how crucial prenatal care is for a healthy mother and child. We’re excited to participate in this important event and help to create a better future for Georgia families.”

An estimated 500 March for Babies events will be held throughout the U.S. this year, with three million people expected to walk together for stronger, healthier babies. The leading nonprofit organization for maternal and infant health, the March of Dimes has worked for more than 75 years to help babies get a healthy start in life.

The latest additions to the Surya line will be on display in the company’s flagship showroom – Showplace 4100 – beginning on Friday, April 15.

To make it easier for retailers and designers to locate the right products for their needs, Surya’s extensive lighting collection – including new looks in crystal, antiqued metallics, shell mosaic inlay, copper, concrete, and colored glass – will be prominently featured in a special gallery within the showroom.

Among the rugs making their debut at market are a number of collections incorporating novel material combinations and constructions, including:

  • Bukhara – Printed in India on a nylon base, Bukhara combines classic motifs and vibrant, high trend colors for a welcoming, free spirited look.

  • Kaitlyn – Machine made in Turkey of polypropylene, Kaitlyn’s distressed traditional designs in a low pile are finished with an antique wash, replicating the look of higher end, hand-knotted rugs.

Pillow collections being launched include:

  • Naida – Crafted in India of luxe silk, the Naida pillows artfully translate the botanical trend seen on fashion runways via dappled, watercolor brushstrokes in hues of earth and sky.
  • Roxana – Printed in India on woven cotton, Roxana’s freshly interpreted classic designs feature a distressed look in a softly muted palette, creating a sense of effortless style.
  • Subira – Made in India of linen and cotton, the Subira pillows draw their inspiration from traditional African textiles, lending a global, well-traveled feel.
  • Tansy – Woven in India of crisp linen, Tansy’s subtly printed leaf pattern embellished with beaded accents closely mimics the look of a henna tattoo.

“Home decor has really become focused on creating a personalized look that reflects the consumer’s unique lifestyle and values, that allows them to create a sanctuary and authentic retreat from the complexities of life,” said Satya Tiwari, president, Surya. “As we continue to build out our product offering to add more depth and breadth, we’re making it even easier for our retailer and designer customers to create inspired spaces that their customers will want to come home to.
