Torlys for Carpet Republic

Carpet Republic presents the world’s first 100% recycled leather flooring.

June 21st, 2012

Designed by Torlys, Carpet Republic introduces the world’s first eco-engineered flooring made of 100% recycled leather.

In the past, leather floors have been produced for limited customised use, usually at a very high price.

Today you can purchase easy-to-install, beautiful leather floors that use leather recycled from the manufacturing of jackets, upholstery, belts, shoes and handbags – fine quality leather that would otherwise find its way to the local landfill.

Torlys Leather is available in 12 classic tones and patterns and is produced with a recycled cork backing, which aids insulation and reduces noise.

This high quality engineered product utilises a resilient High Density Fibre core and the industry leading patented Uniclic joint system. It also contains no harmful VOC emissions and no added formaldehyde.

REGIONAL DESIGN :: @studioTakt was established som

REGIONAL DESIGN :: @studioTakt was established some 16 years ago when, ahead of the trend, Katharina Hendel and Brent Dunn moved to the South Coast of New South Wales for a sea-change.

They created Takt for meaningful buildings that enhance life and explore the possibilities of site, light, material and sustainability.

Katharina and Brent have personal knowledge of the devastating 2019 New Year’s Eve fires in Cobargo, a town in the Bega Valley, and Lake Conjola of New South Wales. Their approach to the ruination was to literally work through the grief and become involved in the re-design and re-building of these communities.
