Tapi has opened its first concession in John Lewis, starting with John Lewis Oxford Street branch and will add additional concessions in 16 stores around the UK by the summer. The Tapi concessions replace The Floor Room which went into administration in August 2024.
The new Tapi concessions will offer a range of carpets, laminate, engineered wood, and luxury vinyl flooring, as well as a selection of John Lewis’s own carpets, and will be staffed by Tapi ‘floorologists’.
Tapi Carpets & Floors director of buying Charlie Harris shares his excitement about the partnership launch: “It’s a great honour to be associated with the John Lewis brand. Like Tapi, they’re focused on great value, high-quality products and delivering outstanding customer service. We’re also delighted to bring to market an appealing new collection of 100% wool John Lewis branded carpets”.
John Lewis director of services & hospitality Katie Papakonstantinou, added: “It’s been so exciting to see this first concession launch. We’re delighted to welcome Tapi to John Lewis and are confident that our customers will value their extensive flooring proposition and commitment to outstanding customer service.”
Other John Lewis stores set to open Tapi concessions are: Kingston, Bluewater, Peter Jones (Sloane Square), High Wycombe, Newcastle, Cribbs Causeway, Southampton, Cheadle, Reading, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Milton Keynes, Brent Cross, Nottingham, Liverpool and Solihull.
