Story
HANRAD’s passion for handcrafted textiles and art is at its heart, with a commitment to working with skilled artisans, designers, and artists with an emphasis on craftsmanship, quality, and creativity.
After spending a decade in Beijing, Barry Radford and Han Chao made the decision to return to New Zealand. They wanted to create a space where they could showcase their handcrafted art and designer rug collections alongside the artwork that continually inspires them. Opening a gallery in New Zealand allows them to share their passion and rug designs while also providing a platform for artists to showcase their work.
The decision to participate in the Maison & Objet Interior Design Fair in Paris in 2020 was a pivotal moment for HANRAD. By showcasing their art rug designs at such a prestigious event, they were able to connect with international interior designers and establish valuable relationships. This success contributed to their rugs being incorporated into interiors around the world, bringing their unique products to a global audience.
Overall, HANRAD’s journey from its founding in 2006 to becoming a boutique brand known for its quality, uniqueness, and boundary-pushing design is an inspiring story of passion, dedication, and artistic vision.
