Designer collaborations seem to be the style world's arrangement du jour. If Lindsay Lohan isn't doing it with French fashion house Ungaro then Peter Morrissey has hooked with Big W for cheap and cheerfuls and Stella McCartney had a her big go with Target.
Now, the ruby rug's favored walker, Alex Perry, has moved into another celeb con-fab. And it's all about rugs. Ones for the home and some v. smart offices.
After working at a model agency as a booker, Alex followed his true calling, that of designer with a penchant for ferociously sexy, figure-hugging gala gowns. In the early 90’s, Perry frocks caught the eye of the fash-mag set, the designer happily creating the biggest and boldest dresses for equally as over-the-top fashion shoots.
Fast forward to now and Alex has segued into interiors for the Designer Rugs crew.
"I wanted to pay homage to my Greek heritage striving to create something timeless and striking. Each design tells a different story, revealing a distinct aspect of Greece and myself,” Alex says.
Hand-made from 100% New Zealand wool, some pieces feature pure silk and viscose with weaving and carving techniques used to create unique accents and definition.
The rugs have names like 'Palati', inspired by an intricate gate seen in the National Gardens in
Athens; ‘Anthi, Rhodes and Ipografi' which feature colors like lime, mahogany, white and gun metal while there is ‘Nisaki, Bibelo and Psaraki', all of which have been influenced by the Aegean sea.

Nice rugs.
But why are they made from New Zealand wool? Are Aussie sheep not good enough?
