"From concept development to white glove installation, Holmes Bespoke provides a tailored service for each project which allows for complete personalisation. Clients can select specific fibres and colours, as well as adjust size and shape, to create a piece perfectly suited to their space. Every rug is handcrafted to order, with a production lead time of approximately 12-16 weeks from approval. Our skilled artisans use a diverse offering of weaving techniques, including hand tufting, knotting, weaving, looping and carving, to create bespoke designs using an array of premium fibres. We follow the world’s best practices and push the boundaries of what’s possible in design in order to reduce the need for disposal or replacement.
We believe that longevity is intertwined with quality and that a luxury product should be made by the hands of craftspeople using local, natural and sustainable materials. The process of designing a bespoke rug is like weaving your story into a special one-off piece of artwork for your home
Holmes Bespoke is excited to continue creating exceptional residential and commercial spaces, especially with the newly launched Hidden Gems collection. The Hidden Gems collection captures the natural beauty of nature’s most precious gemstones, blending sumptuous silk and New Zealand wool to reflect their unique graining and luminescence. The collection comprises 9 exquisite designs, crafted by hand with intricate techniques, including loop, raised and cut pile. Featuring golden, sunset hues, Hidden Gems is their most decadent collection to date, with each piece showcasing exceptional design and quality craftsmanship."
