A TRIFECTA OF KINDRED SPIRITS

Kaluma Home

Kaluma Home is based on the adage “Buy once, buy well”.  In a world of impersonal, mass-produced and quickly forgotten goods, three friends decided to create a boutique business that caters to the small group of people who seek something truly special.  Our products will always be created with care, quality and artistry.   

We worked together for nearly 20 years, discussing projects over Armenian coffee and making thousands of custom rugs which grace the floors of mansions, yachts and hotels all over the world. Kaluma Home is our dream of venturing out on our own. We are grateful and excited for this opportunity to create something interesting together, something we can be proud of.  We invite you to be part of this journey. 

This is who we are...

KAZUMI NAIMOLI

Designer

Trained at FIT, Kazumi’s talents are vast in scope – from illustration, to color theory and composition, all of which feed into designing beautiful, livable rugs. Her portfolio is elegant, forward-thinking and alive, and presented in a multitude of gorgeous colorways.  She combines modern aesthetic with the classics.  Her floral designs are simply sublime (more coming on Kaluma Home Spring 2024!). 

Kazumi is a true artist and very particular about her work.  There is no one who will care more about the development and success of your project than Kazumi.  Her introspection and patience makes her a client-asset.  Living in a musical household, she is surrounded by art, sound and an organic backyard garden to die for.  She makes her own sushi and salads straight from her garden. 

Kazumi is lyrical soul. 

Lusine Hovhannisyan

Production

Lusine is our lioness. Tri-lingual in Armenian, Russian and English, Lusine is infused with international flavor.  She is smart, practical and moves at a faster pace than anyone else in the room.  She is a hub of activity connecting with clients and suppliers at the same time, always thinking three steps ahead. Lusine has seen it all and she knows what works. 

Her vibrant personality is embodied by wild curly hair and emphatic hand-gestures.  She takes her work to heart and is loved by customers and vendors alike.  She is big advocate of fairness and doing the right thing, producing the right product. 

And at Kaluma Home, Lusine is your lioness too. 

Marisa Mesropian

Ops & Finance

Marisa is a problem solver, she loves a good puzzle. Her background in engineering and banking means that she has never met a number she hasn't liked as long as it made sense and wasn't wasteful. Her talent lies in the fact that she can bridge the gap between clients and production because she has been on both sides.  She has the mind of a nerd, but connects to people personally and professionally.   

Once she entered management for international home goods, she created an environment of trust and respect among her team, valuing each person for their unique skills and filling in the gaps. She knows that the most efficient way of doing anything is to do it right. Marisa is known in business and in her community as the one who gets things done.  

She receives respect by being respectful.
