Akira Isogawa is one of Australia's most celebrated fashion designers. Collaborating with Designer Rugs on three collections since 2005, the synergy between our designers expertise and Akira’s trademark breathtaking yet understated designs, has resulted in some of our most enduring and iconic rugs.
Akira's third collection HIRAMEKI, meaning ‘Inspiration’, references his 2012 catwalk collections. Akira’s love of exploring the juxtaposition between his traditional Japanese heritage and the celebration of Australia’s love of colour has translated into some exquisite pieces.
"Shibori means twist in English. It is a tie dye textile. This fabric had a floral and wave motif that was created by the Shibori technique. It also originates from Kyoto, Japan." - Akira
When you buy a new rug, you’re making an investment in your home, your space, and your style, and you want it to look perfect in your room.
In addition to finding a rug that compliments the style and function of your space and your own personal taste, you’re also going to want to account for considerations of size, shape and placement.
We’ve created a simple guide to consider when making your rug purchase.
Learn moreWe advise professional cleaning for all our rugs.
Vacuum regularly - we do not recommend using rotating or brush head vacuum cleaners on any of our rugs, or vacuum cleaners with a very strong suction.
Clean spills immediately. Never rub a spill, instead blot any liquids with a dry absorbent white cloth or white paper towel. If in doubt, please seek professional advice from our Preferred Cleaner Network.
Do not steam clean or dry-clean your rug, and avoid harsh chemicals. Our rugs are not machine-washable.
Direct sunlight will cause fading - avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
