Luay Al-Rawi

Artisan/Entrepreneur

The Netherlands

The lure of the Far East has been omnipresent in Luay Al-Rawi's life. As a young man of 17, he began his career as an importer of Eastern novelties, trading in such items as tai chi shoes and arts & crafts. Through his travels to India and China, he expanded his scope and trained his eye on larger found objects, including unique sculptures and building materials from old Indian homes. Sensing a strong business opportunity, Luay began importing doors, windows and flooring to Holland. His burgeoning trade flourished as he developed relationships with interior decorators and designers.

An attraction to antique Chinese cabinets approximately 15 years ago was the trigger that led Luay to open his first factory in China. In 1995 his company became the first wholly-owned foreign enterprise in China in the furniture business. Building from that early success, he evolved the business to create artisan-quality furniture reproductions based on European-inspired designs.
