Here's something new for our Australian clients... Did you know that we sell rugs? Beautiful, ethnically made rugs of all kinds, colours and sizes. Below is a quick run-down of the selection...

First up is PURE, a collection of handmade, natural fibre kilims. JAB has taken this humble classic to another level with 5 different weaves, 196 fabulous colours and an extensive selection of bindings and fringe options. With PURE you can design a kilim to fit your specifications perfectly. See the collection page HERE. See the brochure HERE.

As the name suggests CALMA is a range of pared-back, uber chunky rugs using New Zealand wool. The combination of texture and the natural variation of the wool creates a stunning but unobtrusive element for your floors. See the collection page HERE. See the brochure HERE.

Perfect for both indoor and outdoors PATIO handwoven rugs are made using recycled PET plastic. The result is hard wearing but soft to the touch - and tough enough to withstand the outdoors. See the collection page HERE. See the Patio brochure HERE.

Did you receive our email last week? It was a heads-up about our new Pricelist which will be mailed out later this week. It will be effective from Thursday 15 July. Of course all orders placed before this date will be supplied at the current price. Please contact your Unique Account Manager if you didn't receive last week's email about this - perhaps you are no longer on our mailout list?

Just a quick update regarding this latest round of Covid restrictions. Our NSW and QLD showrooms (and our WA agent Anne Bailey Agencies) are currently closed to visitors. However we are still despatching sampling and cuttings, with contact-less collection in place. Please call your Unique Account Manager for more information. 
Our Warehouse and Sales Service teams are business as usual, despatching orders and answering your calls. Please let us know if your orders need to be sent to a different delivery address due to the lockdown. 
We feel for everyone impacted by these latest restrictions. Stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to our QLD and NSW showrooms soon x

We've released our Winter 2021 collections and it's a bumper crop of new ranges. Below is a quick run down of what has gone to market. I've also added the dates for our presentation events below.

There are eight - yes eight! - new collections from Arte. And it's not exaggeration to describe them as astounding. There's everything from mother-of-pearl tiles to stunning murals on velvet and raffia - they are show-stoppers! We'll blog about them in detail later in the week. Visit the collection pages HERE.

There are new ranges from Andrew Martin including a striking Peruvian-inspired stripe collection called Condor and a new collaboration with Sarah Paterson.

We've released an in-house upholstery range called Italian Lakes which uses a specially developed recycled yarn made from off-cuts from the fashion industry. We have also released a selection of drapery basics: Charm, Grace and Aurora (coming soon). Also stay tuned for luxury chenilles which will be hitting the market soon.

Last week we announced our new leather supplier - Pavoni Luxury Leathers. Thank you for the great response to these special designs. They are certainly a million miles away from your average run-of-the-mill hides and will add a bespoke element to any interior.

Zimmer + Rohde's Personal Landscapes is another new collection to look out for, particularly if you like mid-century inspired textiles with plenty of texture and understated motifs. See the collection page HERE.

Drum roll please!... We'd like to introduce Pavoni Luxury Leathers to you. While not a household name Pavoni is an Italian company who create extremely special hides for brands that ARE household names. Companies like Armani, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Poltrona Frau have all used Pavoni Luxury Leather. These brands demand not only the best quality but also distinctive hides. And now we're thrilled to make Pavoni's stunning products available to you.

Initially a supplier to the fashion industry, seven years ago Pavoni broadened their focus to include interior design. With the vast majority of their products made in-house they offer short lead-times and the ability to create customised designs and colours. Their products now grace interiors all around the world.

Pavoni have three main collections: 1/ Luxury Leather 2/ Contract + Hospitality and 3/ The Kelly Hoppen Collection. These ranges encompass a HUGE variety of leather. From the softest aniline hides, through to hairy hides, real suede and hand-pieced creations. The Contract and Hospitality range features tough semi-aniline hides that stand up to the demands of Contract interiors such as casinos and resorts. The Kelly Hoppen Collection makes full use of Pavoni's masterful embossing and laser-cutting skills to create striking bespoke hides.

Visit the collection pages HERE to see more of these stunning collections. Our Unique Account Managers will be contacting you about this special company in the coming weeks. They can't wait to show you the range!
