K5 Introduces Peace Industry Rugs to Australia

Bold patterns, rich textures, and eco-friendly materials – discover the unique artistry of Peace Industry rugs, brought to Australia by K5 Furniture.

K5 Furniture is thrilled to announce the exclusive Australian launch of the Peace Industry rug collection. Known globally for its one-of-a-kind felted wool rugs, Peace Industry has earned a reputation for combining bold aesthetics, sustainable practices, and ethical craftsmanship. With their unique blend of ancient techniques and contemporary design, these rugs are not only a visual statement but also an embodiment of artistry and integrity – values we at K5 resonate deeply with. 

Founded by Melina and Dodd Raissnia, Peace Industry revived a rare and time-honoured rug-making technique originating from Iran. “We were inspired to bring back the lost art of felt rug making because it offers an alternative to today’s synthetic-dominated carpet industry,” says Melina Raissnia, co-founder of Peace Industry. Their rugs are hand-felted with pure wool using an artisanal process that eliminates the need for harsh chemicals or synthetic materials. This ancient approach results in durable, luxurious pieces that are both soft to the touch and remarkably sustainable. In a world filled with mass production, Peace Industry proudly offers products rooted in authenticity, where every rug is crafted with care and purpose. 

Peace Industry’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond material choices. “We don’t use dyes, glues, or toxic chemicals, ensuring our rugs are as healthy for the planet as they are for your home,” explains Melina. Wool, a natural and renewable resource, takes centre stage in every design, while the hand-felting technique ensures energy efficient production. Peace Industry’s ethos resonates strongly with the principles K5 upholds; prioritising environmental responsibility while delivering outstanding quality.  

K5 Furniture is proud to partner with Peace Industry and bring this extraordinary collection to the Australian market for the first time. As the exclusive distributor in the region, we are excited to include these rugs to our upcoming projects, providing a unique design solution that perfectly complements residential and commercial spaces. Each Peace Industry rug offers bold, geometric patterns and rich textures, bringing character and warmth to any interior. “We believe a well made product should reflect both where it comes from and the values behind it – these rugs tell a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and responsibility,” says Melina. 

“At K5, we believe in working with brands that align with our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation”, explains Erna Walsh, K5 Furniture CEO. “Peace Industry’s dedication to preserving ancient techniques while creating products that meet modern aesthetic standards is a philosophy we admire and share. This collection fits beautifully within our curated product offering, reflecting our passion for thoughtful design and long-lasting value.”
