News and Updates

Christmas Here We Come!

Today

Every year we say the same thing but we really, REALLY appreciate your support throughout the year!

We've had a super busy 12 months, packed with gorgeous products and exciting projects: It was nice to settle into our new Sydney location and give our Auckland showroom a refresh. We welcomed Pele and Kelly Ann to our team (NZ and NSW respectively). Our Annual Sale was a big success. We had a blast at Industry on Arthur and the various Design Days we participated in. We again had the pleasure of hosting Robert Petit from JAB. We released stunning collections from all our indent brands - who continue to create incredibly beautiful and innovative ranges.

So thank you again - we literally couldn't do it without you!
Wishing you a fun, safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
from everyone at Unique x

Introducing Harvest Moon

24 November 2025

We were thrilled to hear Kit Kemp and Andrew Martin were working on another collaboration. Their first two projects were hugely successful - the eponymous Fabric and Wallpaper collections. The wallpaper design Mythical Land and fabric Friendly Folk in particular received a lot of love from our clients.
Their new release is the joyful Harvest Moon, a magical collection of prints, embroideries, wallpapers, tapestries and upholstery designs. Harvest Moon beautifully re-creates naive and folk art motifs and hand painted looks. We especially love the hand crafted touches of embroidery and appliqué. It's all combines to create a charming and highly usable range.
See the collection page HERE. Our Sales team and Agents are currently showing Harvest Moon. They look forward to seeing you.

Savanna is here!

Veena 18 November 2024

Our fabulous new outdoor/indoor collection Savanna has arrived and it’s looking amazing! 
Savanna started life as a written brief: To create a contemporary, high quality, multipurpose range of fabrics. One that's tough enough for outdoor use but with a look and feel of interior fabric. Inspiration-wise we were drawn to African artisan patterns; motifs from basketry and carving, and colours from natural adobe pigments. The collection includes 2 geometric designs, a stylish stripe, a textured plain and a zebra hide pattern. Available in 4 colourways, Linen, Adobe, Spice and Jungle.
Savanna is expertly woven in Belgium by a renown 4th generation family-owned mill. The yarn ticks all the boxes: an excellent lightfastness of 7, 30,000 Martindale rubs, washable, water repellant finish, anti-microbial and Oeko-tex certified. 

Savanna sampling is in our showrooms now and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing the collection to you in the coming days. Click HERE to see the collection page, or HERE to download the brochure.

AUCKLAND SPRING SHOWING NEXT WEEK

Joanne 06 October 2023

Here's something for clients in the Auckland region. Next Thursday I'll be presenting the glorious new Spring release from Carlucci: Love of Life. Invitations are heading to your inbox this morning. Please send in your RSVP as soon as you can. This is a lunch presentation so numbers are very limited.

Along side Carlucci's latest I'll be showing new designs from Arte Contract and our own stock releases, including our limited edition Artisan Stripes. I look forward to seeing you at the Auckland showroom - 27 Burleigh St, Mt Eden.

INDUSTRY ON ARTHUR - EDITION 2023

Steph 29 September 2023

We love being part of this event! It's always a fun, fabulous evening - packed with gorgeous product, beautiful people and delicious treats.

This year the theme is Design In Colour which ties in perfectly with our new Spring collections. We do hope you call in at 18 Arthur St and see us - there's loads to see. 

ANDREW MARTIN AND ECOFAST

Anna 17 September 2023

Something definitely worth noting: Andrew Martin's latest release Secret Garden uses Ecofast™ pigment inks. 

In a nutshell Ecofast is all about lowering energy and water consumption while maintaining performance and high definition colour.

Ecofast is a digital printing process that requires little heat setting and reduces water consumption by over 50% when compared to conventional printing. So lots of environmental wins with this process.

Ecofast fabrics also happen to be anti-micobial, lightfast (6 - 7), anti-mildew - and abrasion, stain and shower resistant. So ticking loads of boxes and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more Ecofast prints in the future.

Using eco-friendly, water-based pigment inks these designs are washable (cold water wash only) and Sanforized to minimize shrinkage. The base-cloth is a heavy 100% linen - perfect for upholstery, loose covers and accessories. Please note these stripes are NOT suitable for drapery and blinds.

NEW RELEASES THIS WEEK

Carol 22 June 2023

We are taking three beautiful collections to market this week. Soul Spaces by Zimmer and Rohde, Voyager by Travers and Heures D'ete by Etamine. Each range is an inspiring representation of the respective brands.

Soul Spaces is a sophisticated selection of high contrast fabrics: literally the rough and the smooth, matte and shimmer, natural and synthetic fibres - all cleverly combined to create a harmonious, elegant collection. 

Heures D'ete continues Etamine's quest of capturing the natural world around us. This collection offers fabrics which will enrich and enliven a home, both indoors and outdoors with designs in vibrant and unexpected colour combinations. 

The designers at Travers wanted Voyager to be like a visit to the home of a well-travelled collector. Every single design has a travel story to tell. The result is a diverse, inspiring blend of patterns, colours and textures. 

Our Account Managers are showing these collections now. They look forward to seeing you soon.

BEAUTIFUL NEW HOULÈS COLLECTIONS TO SEE

Anna 15 June 2023

This year Houlès has released some beautiful new ranges - I thought I'd post a brief overview and link in the catalogs for you to see.

Firstly they have added to their hugely popular Acea hardware collection. Collaborating with a Parisian design studio AC/AL they have created new contemporary finial shapes and metal finishes - including a stunning patina-ed bronze.

They have also added three passementerie ranges. I have already blogged about Zelda. But also check out Maya if you like your trimmings dialed down. This range has simple shapes and pared back colours.

Finally there's Imperiale - a collection inspired by their incredible archives and the delicacy of Fabergé eggs. Working with the designer Eric Egan Imperiale is a sumptuous, elegant collection of 11 items, available in 10 colors, including 2 metallic ones.

Please contact your Unique Account Manager if you'd like to see any of these ranges. Houlès make beautiful products that really do elevate an interior.
