AboutUs
SOUTH AFRICA'S LEADING HANDMADE RUG & CARPET SPECIALISTS SINCE 1985
For over 40 years, Husky has been the trusted name in handmade rugs across South Africa. Founded in Johannesburg and operating from our Kramerville, Sandton showroom, we’ve built an unmatched reputation among homeowners, architects, interior designers, decorators, and specifiers who refuse to compromise on quality. As one of the leading carpet designers in Sandton, we bring both heritage and innovation to every project.
Every Husky rug and carpet is hand-tufted using 100% pure New Zealand wool – chosen for its superior durability, consistency, and natural beauty. From a bespoke wool rug for a living room to wall-to-wall broadloom carpeting for a five-star hotel, we bring the same meticulous craftsmanship and passion for beautiful spaces to every single project.
At Husky, excellence isn’t a promise – it’s a 40-year track record. Since 1985, our founders Mike and Mary Dias have guided a team of passionate craftspeople, specialist dyers, and in-house designers to create handmade rugs and custom carpets in South Africa that are truly one of a kind.
We work directly with architects, interior designers, and private clients across Johannesburg and beyond to understand the vision behind every space — then bring it to life with colour, texture, and handcrafted precision that no machine can replicate.

Our Design Approach
01
COLLABORATIVE, CLIENT-FIRST DESIGN PROCESS
Every Husky project begins with you. We take time to understand your space, your aesthetic, and your lifestyle — then our specialist carpet designers in Sandton translate that into a rug or carpet concept that fits perfectly, both visually and functionally. From first consultation to final installation, you’re involved every step of the way.
02
UNCOMPROMISING ATTENTION TO DETAIL & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every Husky rug is hand-tufted to exacting standards using 100% pure bespoke wool, acid-dyed for guaranteed colour fastness. Production is available in multiple pile heights and sculpted textures, and every piece is photographically recorded with a unique reference number — so quality and traceability are built into every carpet we make.
03
FULLY CUSTOM: ANY SIZE, SHAPE, COLOUR OR DESIGN
No two spaces are alike, which is why no two Husky rugs are identical. We manufacture custom carpets in Johannesburg in any size, shape, and colour — including pure wool broadloom wall-to-wall carpeting and luxurious cut-pile cotton bathroom rugs. Whether you need a statement piece for a lobby or a full-floor solution for a private residence, we make it happen.
