‘Make It Your Own’ carpet collection from DESSO

Tarkett, a global leader in innovative and sustainable solutions for flooring and sports surfaces, has launched a new DESSO carpet collection, aptly-named ‘Make It Your Own’ – designed to inspire architects and designers to play with textures, colours and materials to tell their own unique story across the floor.

In a world of mass-production, standardisation and efficiency, Tarkett recognises that interior spaces should reflect people’s need to express their own identity. The DESSO ‘Make It Your Own’ carpet collection, provides an answer to this growing demand for unique spaces that offer an individual atmosphere, identity and personality.

The collection consists of three distinct themes: Combining Textures, Colour Layers & Intensity and Material Effects. For the first theme ‘Combining Textures’, Tarkett has introduced a new range of DESSO carpet tiles entitled Carved. Inspired by the chiselled textures of classic woodwork designs, Carved can be seamlessly combined with DESSO’s Ridge carpet tiles to create striking installations. The second theme – ‘Colour Layers and Intensity’ – offers Stitch, an intricate new carpet tile inspired by the subtle intricacies of hand-woven textiles.

Carved and Stitch are available in a selection of 10 and 12 colour options respectively, enabling designers to combine texture and colour to create floor designs with a truly unique identity. The subtle colour accents in Stitch can also be used to coordinate with a company’s corporate identity or with other key accents in the interior.

Additional carpet tiles within the ‘Colour Layers and Intensity’ and ‘Material Effects’ themes will be launched later this year to complete the collection.

“The ‘Make It Your Own’ collection provides designers with multiple opportunities to create something unique – to tell their own story,” comments Ludwig Cammaert, Design and Technical Development Director for DESSO carpets.

He adds: “Our Carpet Design Center? also played an important part in the development of the ‘Make It Your Own’ collection. Increasingly, we’ve seen a move towards individual and personalised designs. Architects and designers can visit the DESSO Carpet Design Center? and collaborate with our design team to co-create their very own personalised colour or pattern.”

All products in the ‘Make It Your Own’ collection are available with EcoBase? backing, that is 100% recyclable in DESSO’s own production process. The carpet tiles also contain 100% up-cycled chalk from local drinking water companies.DESSO is the first carpet brand in the world to use the upcycled calcium carbonate.
