Meet the maker | Designer Rugs

We see ourselves as a design company that makes rugs – we present the best of Australian design through flooring.

Our talented in-house design team have over 40 years’ experience and it’s reflected in the collections they produce and the custom rugs we design every day. We are also passionate about supporting Australian design, including Indigenous artists, through our many collaborative designer collections.

I started Designer Rugs in 1986 with my parents Eli and Nurit. We saw an opportunity in the marketplace for handmade rugs, and since then have built our reputation on quality and unique Australian design.

Since our inception we’ve being collaborating with artists and designers but took it to another level in 2005 when we were licensed by Akira and Dinosaur Designs to reproduce their designs in our rugs. Today we have over 30 collaborations.

We see applications of Axminster in both residential and commercial spaces. Using patterned carpet can add a bold statement to a space at a lower cost than a rug, and is fantastic for disguising wear and tear, whether it’s a hotel lobby or a hallway.

Yes, there certainly is! Expect a lush zoological and botantical spectacular!
