The Duke of Wellington, Melbourne’s oldest pub located in the heart of the CBD recently underwent extensive renovations, including a refurbishment on level one within the restaurant and function room. Established in 1853, this iconic venue located on Flinders Street holds a rich history within the Melbourne hospitality industry. Offering a range of function rooms, a casual dining restaurant and a lively rooftop bar, The Duke of Wellington provides a lively hospitality environment for a range of social functions.

The Duke’s newest space, Arthur’s Cocktail Bar required a bespoke flooring solution to complement the carefully considered interiors and assist in bringing this space to life. A custom Designer Jet® carpet was created that encompasses a range of vintage patterns overlayed into the blue carpet design. This custom carpet design perfectly complements the timeless interiors of Arthur’s Cocktail Bar and adds to the atmosphere of this unique space.

Designer Jet® technology

At the forefront of tailored carpet design, Designer Jet® uses precision engineering to inject dye directly into the carpet pile, replicating almost any image, drawing, logo or pattern in a near infinite spectrum of colours. With the flexibility to create your own unique design, collaborate with the GH Commercial in-house team, or select from our vast library of production ready, fully customisable patterns, plus the choice of preferred surface texture, product size and backing type. 

Designer Jet® provides distinctive custom carpet solutions for any commercial project. Perfect for any interior space, but exceptionally easy to install in corridors and smaller spaces due to its smaller roll sizes, Designer Jet® carpets are designed and manufactured locally to ensure faster lead times.
