Roger Oates Camberley

An introduction to Roger Oates

In the late 80s, owners of a picturesque countryside house came to Roger Oates and Fay Morgan with an ancient flatwoven piece they had found hidden beneath their wooden floorboards. During the 18th century, coverings of this sort were often a single solid colour and lacked any kind of design or pattern.

Upon laying eyes on this vintage piece of fabric, its vibrant hues and intricate design were immediately inspiring to Roger and Fay. With newfound enthusiasm they embarked on a journey that would culminate in the creation of Venetian Flatweave, an exquisite decorative floorcovering.

For our first floor coverings, we hand-wove them with love and care. To accommodate a larger production size, traditional Hattersley looms were modified for weaving the heavy wool material while retaining its original handmade quality. The exquisite striped designs soon became incredibly popular which completely reinvented flatweave carpets in the twentieth century.

Since then, our story has grown and changed as we’ve revisited our archives while still keeping a focus on design that allows us to experiment with connecting modern design for the homes of today with our heritage from the past.
