Rugistan

Rugistan began as Kapisa Rugs and grew into a family-run importer and showroom serving Evanston and Chicago. Founded by Shams Frough, the shop brings handmade Afghan, Persian and other oriental rugs directly from weavers and curated sources to shoppers who value texture and history. Rugistan believes a rug should do more than cover a floor—it adds warmth, personality and a sense of place. With showrooms at 600 Dempster St in Evanston and 4815 N Western Ave in Chicago, the team pairs sourced pieces with local service and a community of passionate buyers.

Shop Rugistan for a wide range of handmade area rugs: hand-knotted and collectible pieces, kilims, runners, vintage and antique rugs, and decorative rugs suited to homes, apartments, offices, and interior-design projects. If you’re working in the studio, Rugistan also supports resin work—offering rugs useful for mixing, coloring, pouring, finishing and keeping a build under control. Compare sizes, weave types, condition and colorways to find a statement piece or an everyday floor covering; Rugistan ships nationwide (including free nationwide shipping from its Chicago-area showrooms), and many listings help you choose by room, scale and material. Find the right rug to anchor living rooms, bedrooms, entryways and workspaces at Rugistan — a practical resource for makers and designers on Resin Society.
