Core Structures, DESSO’s new architecturally inspired carpet collection is launched
22 October 2009
Leading European carpet manufacturer, DESSO has launched a new Carpetecture® collection, Core Structures. This comprehensive portfolio of products offers an inspiring choice of exciting designs and textures in line with the company's acclaimed Carpetecture® concept, which draws on contemporary architecture to create flooring that complements modern interiors.
The basis of Core Structures comes from the very essence of a building. Pillars, wall surfaces, roofs and beams become concepts for the design and creation of these carpets which draw inspiration from the repetitive forms and individual complexities of architecture. Core Structures consists of seven products providing a choice of carpet tiles and broadloom carpet.
With Verso, Verso Grid and Verso Bars we see design derived from the repetition of pattern found in construction. These Compactuft loop pile carpet tiles present subtle contrasts of grey, brown, beige and blue.
Verso offers a delicate, repeat pattern of contoured facets creating an elegant finish in neutral colourways emulating the look of a hard surface due to the flat nature of its structure. With its strong replication of rhythmic pattern, Verso Grid offers a powerful, distinct look as its lattice format provides added depth and dimension of an almost three dimensional quality. Whilst the neutral brown and grey weaves of Verso Bars present a striking finish of durable quality. In addition, the subtle pattern of Verso can be combined with Verso Bars to indicate a change of flow of design where the internal envelope of a building dictates and provides increased flexibility.
Pure is a modern office carpet tile, its precise yet subtly textured rib and mosaic effect add depth and dimension for a warmer, natural look. The neutral palette of grey, yellow and brown hues makes it easy to combine with other interior products in any environment.
Wilton Profile, Wilton Metallic and Wilton in Ribs are inspired woven broadloom carpet designs with highly textured surfaces and geometric inspired patterns. The natural tones of Wilton Profile conjure up images of light filtering through a framework. Wilton in Ribs takes inspiration from the simple repetition found in walls and windows emulating the look of wire framework. Its durability and timeless quality is perfect for the commercial environment. The black palette of Wilton Metallic is a contemporary option at the cutting edge of design and at the heart of this striking collection.
Stef Kranendijk, Chief Executive Officer of DESSO comments: “Structure may be applied to define space, articulate flow and movement, and to develop composition and modulation. In this way design becomes inextricably linked to the very elements which give architecture its quality and distinction. DESSO’s Carpetecture® concept draws inspiration from contemporary architecture and design to create flooring that complements modern interiors and Core Structures offers architects and designers a selection of inspiring new options to choose from.”
