Bremworth

Bremworth wool carpets and rugs have graced the floors of Kiwi homes for over 60 years. Their signature good looks and enduring quality make them both renowned and coveted – step into New Zealand’s most impressive architectural builds and more often than not you’ll be walking upon a beautiful Bremworth carpet.

Designed for living, crafted to last

Founders Tony Timpson and Grant Biel shared a belief: prosperity comes from simplicity. With a blend of innovative thinking and practical dedication, they set out to create products of timeless beauty.

Grant’s engineering skills became the cornerstone of their venture as he meticulously built their first tufting machine. Yet, in a twist of fate, they found themselves without any yarn for the inaugural test run. Ever resourceful, they turned to the red woollen jersey Grant was wearing. Slowly, thread by thread, they unravelled it, infusing every fibre with their vision.

From this humble beginning, they crafted their very first piece of carpet—a small red square that embodied perfection. This wasn’t just a carpet; it was a testament to their belief in simplicity, their commitment to quality, and their passion for creating something truly enduring.

Commitment To Craftsmanship

Tony and Grant’s journey was not merely about manufacturing carpets; it was about crafting experiences and forging connections. Their story is woven into every fibre of their creations elevated, considered, and refined. From that single red square, they built a legacy of products that are not only beautiful but also resilient, durable, and natural.

Today, their legacy lives on, reminding us that true craftsmanship begins with a vision, a touch of innovation, and the dedication to create something that stands the test of time.



Bremworth's Journey To Better

In May 2021, they reached a significant milestone. Bremworth celebrated the production of our last synthetic carpet, marking our exit from the synthetic carpet market. Their focus on New Zealand wool honours our past, and we believe wool is the best fibre for design, performance and innovation for years to come. This decision to exit the synthetic carpet market has reduced our annual plastic consumption by approximately 2,500 tonnes, reflecting their commitment to stopping the plastics problem at source.

Bremworth's journey now focuses on circularity. Their goal is to design and manufacture carpet using 100% compostable materials by researching replacements for the last remaining synthetic components in wool carpets. They are working to ensure that the materials we use are sustainably sourced and can be returned to the earth at the end of their useful life. They are also giving waste wool carpet a second chance as recycled carpet underlay. This approach aligns with our dedication to creating high-quality, durable products that resonate with nature. Together, we can craft a future where wool helps create warm, cozy homes with a light tread on the planet.

For the love of wool, nature's miracle fibre

Bremworth's wool is 100% grown in New Zealand. It's the perfect environment for sheep to thrive and deliver beautifully clean, white fibres to allow them to achieve colour clarity in our final products. Getting the wool specification right is critical to ensure we deliver a beautifully designed product that’s soft to touch yet high performing on the floor. For example, if the fibre is too short for the product design it is likely to excessively fluff and pill once installed in your home.

Fibre for the future

We believe in the extraordinary potential of New Zealand wool. We craft flooring that not only elevates and refines your space, but also deeply connects to nature's resilience. Experience the unparalleled durability and health benefits of our meticulously crafted wool carpets and rugs, designed to delight the senses and withstand the test of time. Discover a future where luxury and practicality weave together, creating spaces that inspire and endure.



Beauty in the imperfections

Integrating wool carpets and rugs into interiors provides designers with a canvas that is as durable and healthy as it is beautiful. Each fibre is unique yet shares inherent beneficial characteristics. When meticulously crafted into innovative designs, it provides a tactile connection to nature that is both elevated and refined.
