Softly, softly This country home features a chunky loop pile wool carpet from Cavalier Bremworth Sustainability influences many of the decisions we make when planning our new homes – from the choice of cladding to the materials used on the interior. For the owners of this Queenstown country house designed by Guy Shallard of Latitude Forty-five, locally sourced materials were a priority – even the schist stone for the walls of the house was quarried on site. For the soft flooring, the owners chose a Galet chunky loop pile carpet from Cavalier Bremworth’s designer Bremworth Collection, which is made from 100% sustainable New Zealand wool. This has a unique ability to breathe, so it keeps a home warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also naturally fire resistant and stain resistant. The Galet carpet in this home features felted wool, made exclusively for Cavalier Bremworth by Radford Felted Yarn in Christchurch. Felting is a process that locks the wool fibres together, making them stronger and bulkier, which allows for more interesting textures. The use of New Zealand lambswool provides added softness and comfort. The result is a hardwearing carpet that will retain its good looks for years to come.
