OUR STORY

Unique and gorgeous, fully customisable rug brands, Art Hide and Ground Control, are the creative enterprises of Australian sister duo, Kura Perkins and Bree Hay-Hendry. 

 Kura visited South America with her family in 2009 and during her travels, was introduced to a third generation leather-maker manufacturing cowhide tapestries. Kura fell in love with the quality, natural characteristics, durability and potential of cowhide as a sustainably produced material for floor rugs and custom applications. Together with Bree, a university qualified textile designer, the pair launched Art Hide in 2010 and over the last ten years they have created thousands of customized rugs for both residential and commercial settings. 

 Seeing a gap in the market for other types of rug materials that can be easily customized, Bree more recently launched Ground Control. Ground Control offers the same easy rug customization, but with wool, cotton, jute and hemp. 

 Art Hide and Ground Control together offer a one-stop-rug shop; an all-encompassing range of customizable rugs across a wide range of natural textiles, with almost limitless possibilities. 

Customers enjoy highly personalised service from Kura, Bree and their team.
