The Rug & Furniture

Matt Harrison worked in the rug and furniture business with his father, Colin, from an early age. He graduated as an exhibition designer in 1996 and after working in Hong Kong, Australia and the Far East, bought Oriental Imports when his father retired in 2004. Since then he has combined his love for design, product and travel and applied his extensive experience and created, what we believe, is the most unique and inspirational store in the country.

He continues to build on his experience and still employs the same values today that his father did when he founded the company over 50 years ago. With regular trips overseas to seek out the rare, unique and beautiful, to bring back to be enjoyed by our ever discerning customers. Only by going directly to the source can he ensure quality, authenticity, value for money and ethical trading and renewability.
