Research notes

Madeline Ronzoni founded Happy Rugs, a hand-tufted rug brand, in the summer of 2020, just before her final year studying marketing at Bentley University in Massachusetts (Business of Home, "The Los Angeles creator behind these TikTok-viral rugs", 27 Jul 2023). Accounts place her in Los Angeles (Rugs.com) or Boston (Business of Home). Her TikTok following is given as nearly half a million (Apartment Therapy) or 1.1 million followers and 37 million likes (a Chinese-language article); neither figure is dated. In May 2025 Rugs.com launched a Happy Rugs collection with her, her first nationwide collection, priced from $49 (Business Wire, 19 May 2025; Home Textiles Today).
