ABOUT OBERY
OBERY is a family name — a legacy shared by father and son, and the foundation of a design-led business built with purpose. It reflects a collaborative vision to support and inspire New Zealand’s architecture and interiors community.
We curate premium international and local design brands — including The Rug Company, Soho Home, and a refined collection of hard surfaces. With a focus on craftsmanship and enduring design, OBERY offers furniture, lighting, rugs, tiles, and façade products for residential and commercial projects across Aotearoa.
A LITTLE INTRODUCTION TO THE BRANDS WE REPRESENT
THE RUG COMPANY
Rooted in authenticity, integrity, and exceptional craftsmanship, The Rug Company blends traditional rug-making with contemporary design. Since 1997, the brand has produced handmade rugs using the finest natural materials, including Tibetan wool and silk, crafted by master artisans. Known for its collaborations with world-renowned designers like Kelly Wearstler and Dale Chihuly, each piece is designed to be timeless, unique, and enduring. With a strong commitment to ethical production and sustainability, The Rug Company supports artisan communities and upholds certified standards for responsible making.
SOHO HOME
Bring the House HomeBorn from the desire to bring the style of Soho House into everyday living, Soho Home offers furniture, lighting, and homeware that reflects the relaxed, layered aesthetic of its iconic members' clubs. With over 25 years of design heritage, the brand blends timeless forms with rich materials and global craftsmanship—from vintage silk lampshades to bespoke British-made furniture. Soho Home champions individuality, provenance, and sustainability, creating curated interiors that feel personal, lived-in, and ready to host.
