Melbourne Design Week returns 14–24 May 2026, with 400+ events across Melbourne.
As part of this year's program, RE:BORN explores reimagined beauty—transforming overlooked furniture into new forms through a collaboration between @cultivated_au and @romancewasbornMelbourne .
More manifesto than display, RE:BORN disrupts assumptions and provokes a shift in perspective around material value: an invitation to pause before discarding, reconsider what already exists, and recognise that the most compelling design doesn't always begin with something new.
Prioritising local craft and Australian manufacturing, the project embraces a closed-loop approach where considered design and zero waste exist as the same instinct expressed together.
Made possible with the support of our collaborators and partners, we're grateful to be building this together.

Color development for custom carpets involves understanding how hues interact with natural light, artificial illumination, and surrounding materials throughout different times of day.
This technical knowledge informs our design recommendations for each unique space.

'Like the terrain that inspired the Sierra Collection, each carpet is built for longevity,'
From concept sketches to the finished carpet, our design team guides every stage, ensuring the final piece meets both aesthetic and performance standards. TSAR’s 30 years of manufacturing expertise and vertical integration—spanning raw material sourcing, yarn spinning, and dyeing- ensures unmatched consistency and quality control.

Hype is a bold fusion of contemporary design, where warping techniques and surrealist aesthetics come together to create something strikingly beautiful.
Each thread is thoughtfully woven to add dimension, while the dynamic patterns evoke a sense of movement and energy, transforming any space with its unique presence.

Serenity reflects a quiet sense of restraint, expressed through softened tones and refined textures, where every detail is thoughtfully composed. Gentle shifts in colour and surface create a light, breathable quality, bringing ease into the space and allowing moments of stillness to unfold naturally.

Shaped by the passage of time, Dynasty captures the contrast between eroded textures and surfaces worn smooth through constant touch. Through cut and loop pile techniques, the design mirrors this natural evolution, while layered tones drift and fade, creating a quiet, graffiti-like expression that feels both raw and refined.

From the outback to the coast, from rugged peaks to raw, open ground, Stralis takes its cues from the landscapes that shape Australia. Each design reworks these vast, often untamed places into abstract forms, where layered textures and subtle shifts in tone reflect the depth and character of the land.
Hand-tufted with care, the collection brings these environments into a more tactile, grounded form, rich in movement, contrast and materiality.
Made to be custom coloured, each piece adapts to its setting, allowing every Stralis design to settle naturally into a wide range of interiors.

From the first idea to the finished piece, each TSAR design is a carefully crafted journey shaped by artistry and precision. Our bespoke design process blends creativity, technical expertise and premium materials to create luxury carpets tailored to each space.

Colour development at TSAR is shaped by understanding how hues respond to natural light, artificial illumination and surrounding materials throughout the day. This considered approach informs each design, ensuring every carpet is tailored to its space with intention and precision.
