June 20, 2003—Shaw S|C, a provider of carpet design and sustainability, has introduced three lines to the floor covering industry. The three new lines utilize state-of-the-art technology to pair design patterns with intensive-use quality in the new broadloom and tile lines flux, Space Matters and A Walk in the Garden: The William McDonough Design Portfolio.
A Walk in the Garden: The William McDonough Design Portfolio is a modular carpet portfolio that literally leaves a healthy environmental footprint. The portfolio translates photographic images of McDonough’s walk through a garden in China into a cradle-to-cradle, floor covering product. The cradle-to- cradle design framework allows the carpet, rather than being recycled into other materials at the end of its life cycle, to be remade into carpet. Carpet fibers are recycled back into carpet fibers and carpet backing is returned to carpet backing, thereby making our environment eminently more sustainable.
The carpet utilizes gradients of shadow and light creating a striking design element. Designers who want something more than simple floor covering will find that this introduction will work synergistically with the architecture, becoming part of the holistic design of a space.
Space Matters is program that combines performance and design, with a pattern range that delivers infinite flexibility. This easy-to-use program is built upon the belief that great aesthetics can completely change the mood of the interior. The line offers 26 patterns, 26 colorways, and a high performance backing. The program features two fibers options; Solutia Ultron Color, and Eco Solution Q Premium Nylon—a cradle-to-cradle recyclable fiber. This program, developed for intensive use environments, says your Space Matters.
