We were delighted to showcase our new designer rug collections at Decorex 2017. We have teamed up with 6 talented designers from across the globe who have showcased their unique and special talents to great effect in their debut collections for Rug Couture.
The designer collections are all hand knotted rugs made from New Zealand wool. Some rugs also feature art silk and/or bamboo silk to compliment the style of the design.
Four of our designers were in attendance at Decorex to celebrate the launch of our designer rug collections.

This was one of the themes touched on by 1508’s Louise Wicksteed in her blog on the ‘Roots of Design’ for Decorex where she says:
Allowing our customers access to bespoke products and service has been the ethos of Rug Couture since we started over eight years ago. The artisan skill of our craftspeople is of the utmost importance to us which is why we are proud partners of GoodWeave and carry the GoodWeave label as we fully support their aim to stop child labour in the carpet industry. (GoodWeave endorsement is the best way to ensure your rug is child labour free.)

We are also able to weave additional designs to order. Currently available via our bespoke service. For bespoke rug enquiries please click here

Our stand E56 at DECOREX, Syon Park London, 20th - 23rd September 2015
Everyone is saying that Decorex 2015 was the best so far. Visitor numbers were up and the Decorex Twitter feed is full of retweets from delighted visitors and exhibitors. We agree. If you’ve never been before, clear a day or two in your diary for next year.
The large rugs featured on our stand included an abstract design based on leafless tree branches backlit in wintry browns and blues.
On the stand, the rug looked and felt amazing because it contained an incredible 232,500 knots of pure wool per square metre. It’s a remarkable example of rug-making craftsmanship and self-confident design – proof that a rug can be as imaginative and luxurious as you want it to be.

Our stand in Hall 17 at DOMOTEX, Hannover Exhibition Centre, 17th - 20th January 2015
Held over a period of four days in the world’s largest exhibition centre; The Exhibition Grounds, DOMOTEX Hannover is the flagship trade fair for carpets and floor coverings. Boasting an incredible 466,100 square meters of covered indoor space, 58,000 square meters of open-air space, 26 halls and pavilions and with 38,000 visitors from 96 nations it is a colourful spectacle of floor covering innovation on a truly international scale. We were incredibly proud to join the list of exhibitors in January this year.
Drawing inspiration from the increasingly popular green or living walls; visitors were wowed by the range of options that they could touch and feel on our typographic and textural sample wall. There buyers instantly compared the look and feel of our most popular materials like New Zealand wool and pure silk and more exotic materials such as matka silk while also gaining an appreciation for the particular strengths of our materials and production techniques in terms of design realisation at-a-glance.
An edit of twelve carefully selected designs from our online store were showcased in some of our most arresting new colours with details highlighted through the use of different materials and their respective light reflecting properties. Visitors to the stand were also able to see our standard shape options all produced in our popular chevron design ‘ZigZag.’ A firm favourite was our timeless Triform rug which can also be seen in Breuninger’s flagship store in Düsseldorf.

Our interactive, oversize display beautifully demonstrated the intersection of technology and fine craft Rug Couture are known for while surprising those unfamiliar with our brand with the quality of our products, project management, turnaround times and quality control. Both Design Directors were on hand to answer any queries and enjoyed meeting many new partners with whom we are very excited to be working with over the coming months.
