Bespoke Rugs

Tretford Rugs by Markian are handcrafted and manufactured in Brisbane, Australia by joining colours from the Tretford ROLL carpet to create custom pieces.

Tretford carpet has exceptionally clean, elegant lines due to its unique construction using cashmere goat hair.

The natural properties of Tretford Rugs actively reduce airborne dust and allergens, promote energy-saving, and facilitate excellent indoor acoustics.

From the company’s foundation in the mid-1950s, Tretford’s focus has been utilising natural and renewable resources – which in today’s terminology means  using sustainable raw materials. 

Produced in Germany and Ireland for over 50 years, Tretford carpets positively contribute to healthy living and working environments. This is largely due to its unique feature, Cashmere goat hair from the highlands of Inner and Outer Mongolia.

Tretford Roll & INTERLIFE Tile largely consist of this long top hair of the Cashmere goat, and also other renewable and recycled raw materials, for example, jute in Roll format, and 80% recycled polyester felt in INTERLIFE tile backing.

This unique construction – with its distinctive structural corded look and proven quality – has established Tretford as a much-loved brand around the world.

The Tretford Rugs by Markian range is an extension of the range motif and carries with it the playfulness of colour combinations, the stark graphic delineations that separate but join and the shapes that combine it all together.

A leader in the field of handmade rugs, we are proud to be collaborating with Designer Rugs for a range of hand-tufted New Zealand wool and bamboo rugs. Each rug is made to order in Malaysia. Inspired by the originating furniture piece, Ray. Choose from six shapes and nine colourways.

Hand-tufted rugs are produced by shooting yarn through a tufting gun into a stretched fabric frame, much like a stretched canvas. Each shape and colour is tufted separately, like a colour-by-numbers, and their construction makes them the perfect choice for geometric designs. Hand-tufted rugs are more affordable than hand-knotted rugs, and their durability means they are suitable for commercial applications. Wool Valued for its durability and natural softness, sheep wool has been a staple of rug making for millennia. Its distinctive structure and lanolin content give it a number of important benefits – it is flame retardant, stain repellent, extremely durable and even acts as a natural dehumidifier.

Wool is also a 100% renewable product, making it highly sustainable and eco friendly. We use 75% New Zealand wool in our hand-tufted rugs.

Bamboo has been used in the rugs for a touch of shimmer and shine. The bamboo fibres add dimension, playing wonderfully with light and shifting constantly under the gaze. Bamboo has a lustre similar to silk and is used to emphasise portions of each rug’s design, creating incredible highlights and lowlights. We use 25% bamboo in our hand-tufted rugs
