The Rug Company Showroom

WORDS Michaela Stehr

The international rug brand has opened a new Cape Town showroom on hip Bree Street, showcasing handmade designer contemporary rugs.

“Sub-Saharan Africa is a special place for us, and having the opportunity to spend more time there is a welcome prospect. Cape Town has some savvy customers who appreciate and expect the best in quality, design and craftsmanship. The Rug Company has found a perfect home within the vibrant sensibilities of this dynamic city. Bree Street hums with creativity and our showroom is located in a beautiful building there, the striking architecture a fitting backdrop for our collection of handmade rugs,” says The Rug Company’s CEO and co-founder Christopher Sharp.

Founded in 1997, the Rug Company combines modern design with traditional weaving methods and works with some of the world’s top designers, including Tom Dixon, Paul Smith, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.

The Rug Company not only sells ready-made pieces, but also custom creates commissioned pieces to suit your space.
