Van Besouw + Jabo
At Wautier Carpets, we are proud to represent two exceptional European sister brands here in Australia—Van Besouw and Jabo Carpets. Each combines a rich legacy with forward-thinking design and materials, delivering elevated flooring solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. A highlight shared by both brands is their Rug Atelier offering—allowing full customisation of rugs across size, shape, texture, colour, and finish. This bespoke service empowers designers to specify truly unique pieces tailored to any project, underpinned by Van Besouw’s and Jabo’s unwavering standards of quality and innovation.
Wautier Carpets is honoured to bring these rich, expressive, and enduring flooring solutions to Australian clients—helping spaces come alive with character, depth, and exquisite craftsmanship.
Commercial Design
At Wautier, we deliver premium commercial flooring solutions tailored for high-traffic hospitality and commercial spaces, including hotels, retail spaces, offices, libraries, stadiums, galleries, airports and more.
Our Axminster collection—featuring Seidler Solid, Barbican Stipple, and Pattern Designs —offers guaranteed performance and enduring quality. And our IKON Precision Print carpets utilise cutting-edge technology, ensuring limitless design possibilities with exceptional precision, colour and appearance retention. All while maintaining the enduring needs of a commercial space.
Tapis by Hand
Tapis is a French word that means “carpet” or “rug.” It is often used to refer to decorative floor coverings that add aesthetic appeal and comfort to a space. The term evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication, making it a fitting name for our high-quality, hand tufted carpet collection.
The Tapis Collection by Wautier Carpets is a fusion of passion, vision, and craftsmanship—designed to meet the evolving needs of the luxury interiors market. Identifying a gap for bespoke, high-quality carpets that balance elegance and accessibility, we set out to create a collection that redefines modern carpet design.
Tapis can be created in any colour, any size, and shape and almost any fibre. We will ensure it is high performance and high density. Each piece is crafted with a focus on refined aesthetics, innovative techniques, and meticulous attention to detail. Tapis offers tailored solutions for architects and designers in high-end residential and commercial spaces, bringing a contemporary edge to classic craftsmanship.
A Study in Texture
The White Collection distils carpet design to its purest form: a study of texture revealed through crisp, brilliant white. From tweed-like weaves and lustrous silver threads to sculptural rows, fine lines and abstract grids, each piece offers an elegant expression of surface and structure.
Jacaranda in Australia
We believe that wool makes great carpets. Sheep grow new fleeces every year so wool is natural, renewable and biodegradable too. Wool is soft and warm but hard-wearing and naturally fire retardant. Wool fibres are naturally coated in lanolin providing stain resistance. For those that love shine, we hand-weave with the botanic fibre TENCEL™, winner of the “European Award for the Environment”.
That is why we are so pleased to announce that Wautier has been appointed Australasian distributor and partner for the renowned Jacaranda Carpets. Jacaranda craft beautiful handmade floor coverings, deeply rooted in quality, ethics, and environmental responsibility—with a genuine love for natural, tactile textures.
