Added Ari Lowenstein, chairman of the board for Gift for Life: “Our organization has observed, and benefitted from, Loloi’s consistent support of many causes. Their passionate efforts in the service of others and the significant impact they have made is felt by many communities. This commitment is in their family and company DNA as they lift others up and offer care and support time and again. Our organization is pleased to recognize Loloi for the important work they do.”
Amir Loloi, a forty five-year veteran of the home furnishings industry, emigrated from Iran to the United States as a teenager. While earning his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in Dallas, Amir began his rug career with a traditional rug importer in the city, methodically rising through the ranks before following his entrepreneurial spirit and launching his own company, Loloi, in 2004.
Amir’s sons, Steven and Cyrus Loloi, joined the brand in 2009 and 2011, respectively, and are both actively involved in all aspects of the business. Now coming up on 20 years of the business, Loloi has become the “most trusted, go-to” resource in the industry for major retailers and top interior designers alike. Meanwhile, consumers covet Loloi’s products, including their collaborations with Amber Lewis, Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines, Rifle Paper Co., and more. Through it all, Amir’s innate understanding of the layered home has resulted in Loloi designs being some of the most celebrated and widely distributed products in the home furnishings industry.
Today, Loloi is a diverse and vibrant global company with more than 600 employees, multiple warehouses and showrooms, and countless customers nationwide and abroad. Amir continues to innovate, excel, inspire, and elevate the home industry and is focused on continuing to evolve the Loloi ecosystem for the next twenty years and beyond. As a philanthropist, Amir supports many causes both local and abroad that work towards the betterment and advancement of families, weavers and artists, and communities in general. Amir resides in Dallas with his wife and his sons’ families nearby, visiting his grandkids whenever he has the chance.
