The Cadrys are multi-generational rug aficionados whose expertise, knowledge and integrity drive their passion to make the process of acquiring a beautiful handwoven rug a rewarding and enjoyable experience. They and their friendly staff have a genuine desire to understand the various requirements of a client’s needs and will do everything to find the right piece to enhance their homes. A home should reflect the personality of its owners and be decorated with pieces that they love. TDC - What design ethos do you live by? I am drawn to originality and authenticity whether it displays abstract contemporary concepts or classical themes. Importantly the intrinsic quality of materials are of the upmost importance as taste is subjective, but quality is not. TDC - What's your favourite product in your range and why? My favourite collection would have to be our collaborative collection developed with Melbourne’s very own weaver, Tammy Kanat. Innovation is at the heart of all Tammy’s creations and as a highly skilled weaver she understands the complexities involved in this time honoured craft. The collection is a reflection of free flowing designs and toning’s that are brought to life with wonderful fibres that include Tibetan wool, silk and nettle. Tammy’s fabulous sense of artistry through her combining both colour and texture in an original manner makes her rugs so versatile and suitable for a variety of applications from casual to formal settings. TDC - What plans do you have for the future? There are a number of new collections currently in development and new collaborations. Our newly launched Contract Division is gaining a lot of attention with leading architects in the commercial market.
