Sea floor: PLACES OF ORIGIN by OBJECT CARPET

Inspired by nature, every single fibre of the PLACES OF ORIGIN carpet and SL acoustic tiles collections are very literally fascinating, because they are made of ECONYL by Aquafil and are derived 100 percent from discarded fishing nets that have been salvaged from the sea.

There are things you can't buy. One of them is that great feeling of making a contribution to sustainability for the future. This could be in the form of a carpet collection that not only meets the highest quality standards for longevity, but also keeps other essential ecological aspects in mind. And this is called PLACES OF ORIGIN.
Like the entire PLACES OF ORIGIN series, this textured loop pile impresses with its charming surfaces which are durable and resistant to dirt

The nature-inspired collection of carpets and SL acoustic tiles fascinates with every single fibre, and this is not meant figuratively. The eight attractive designs ARCTIC, CANYON, DUNE, REEF, AREA, FOREST, OCEAN and FIELD, which provide architects with wonderful scope for design, share a common basis that makes this innovation particularly exciting.
They are made of ECONYL from Aquafil, a 100 percent recycled polyamide yarn, which comes from discarded fishing nets salvaged from the sea, among other things, and is processed with pioneering production technology into high-quality nylon without the slightest reduction in quality. Piping offcuts are returned to the production cycle. The finished and tested allergy-friendly product not only creates impressive room scenarios, but also demonstrably contributes to an improved room climate by binding fine dust and refining acoustics.
It is not only the way it’s made that fascinates, but also the design. With the eight exquisite PLACES OF ORIGIN variations, OBJECT CARPET embraces the spirit of our times: flexible, multi-faceted, timeless – more than any architect could wish for

What counts for OBJECT CARPET first and foremost is the holistic ideal – an ideal that an honest, sustainable product consistently requires. Not only the now, but also the before and after play an equally important role. The individual elements for creating these extraordinary, nature-inspired flooring landscapes, which are available as sheet material, SL acoustic tiles and RUGX, are free of petroleum-based bitumen, latex and PVC. They are manufactured in Germany using the latest, material-saving tufting technology, utilise sustainable energy and are processed into completely new products. This gives design a completely new dimension and many exciting possibilities. And so we come full circle – on all levels.
