The Resurgance of Parquetry

...Or maybe it never went away!? Well we have definitely seen the parquetry trend flourishing lately, and were excited to find a new supplier showcasing their parquet wares in Designmade this year!



If any of you have been watching The Block Glasshouse you will have noted the stunning herringbone parquet flooring from Renaissance Parquet that Dee and Darren laid throughout their apartment. Absolute proof that - if chosen carefully - it works just as well in a contemporary setting as it does in a traditional environment. Totally inspired! Now who's for parquet?

 

Richard Pointon Rugs

One of the least known treasure troves in Wellington is Richard Pointon rugs in Petone. He is our 'go-to' supplier for the highest quality rugs that Richard himself hand sources from around the globe. We are like kids in a candy store whenever we visit his showroom, and earlier this week was no exception. Here are Eleanor and Katie carefully filtering through the hundreds of options to find the perfect rug for a client's entryway.

Richard can tell you the story behind each and every rug available; from the country of origin, history of the design, age, and often about the weavers themselves. Fascinating stuff, it beats a cheap and nasty 'rug liquidation sale' any day!

Turkish Delights - Patchwork & Overdyed rugs

One of our NZ suppliers has recently brought in a wide range of ever popular patchwork and over-dyed Turkish rugs. They're available in a great range of colours, and all of a really substantial size of approximately 2m x 3m which can be so hard to come across (we find that people always totally underestimate the size of the rug they need!).

If you see something you like below, get in touch and we can supply you with an updated stock list and help you find the perfect rug for your space!

From Russia With Love

One of our favourite rug suppliers Artisan has recently secured a gorgeous range of rugs from renowned international flooring designer Jan Kath. The collection is called 'From Russia With Love'.

'...This collection of distinctive hand-knotted wool and silk rugs is inspired by the bold floral headpieces traditionally worn by Russian girls....'

Such beautiful designs and a great alternative to the typical Turkish rug - contact esdesign for more information!
