DEMO — a working concept built for Dilana by TapHappy. No orders are placed.
dilana rug sketchpad
A hand-tufted Dilana begins as an idea. Play with the one in your head... size, colour, pile, story. This isn't the design — it's the conversation-starter our designers work from.

THIS RUG IS FOR

Play with the look

Pick up to four colours and a direction... the sketch repaints itself. It's a mood, not the artwork — that comes from our designers, or one of our artists.
YOUR PALETTE (tap up to 4)
Dyed-to-order wool means the real palette is almost endless... these tones start the conversation.

How it's made

Pile and material change how a rug feels underfoot and how it holds a room. We select materials to suit purpose and budget... your preference guides us.

The story

The best briefs carry a story... the room it anchors, the painting it answers, the coastline it remembers. Tell us anything.
1
This sketch reaches our designers — we talk, and shape the real design together (or with one of our artists)
2
You approve a rendering — the design at scale, in your colours
3
A strike-off sample is tufted — a small piece of the real rug, in your hands, before the full piece is made
4
Your rug is hand-tufted in Christchurch — and we can mock it up in a photo of your space along the way
✷

Your sketch is with Dilana

The team will be in touch to begin the conversation... and the showroom at 102 Buchan Street is always open to walk among the rugs. This is a demo, so nothing was actually sent.
