IntroductionShaw Contract Group collaborated with Bruce Mau Design to create the L7
carpet collection, which introduces a new approach to color in carpet design. This collection emphasizes the richness and complexity of colors within a defined palette, offering a fresh perspective on traditional carpet aesthetics.
Design Philosophy
The L7 collection challenges conventional carpet design by using a square as the basic unit of color and pattern. By juxtaposing a wide range of hues within a limited color palette, the collection achieves a richness of color previously unseen in contract carpets. This approach allows for a new way of seeing and experiencing carpet design.
Product Features
The collection is available in twelve distinct hues, with each box containing one tile of each hue, ensuring no repetition of colors. This innovative packaging concept enhances the visual diversity and richness of the carpet.
Technical Specifications
The carpets are made from 100% Eco*Solution Q® Premium Branded Nylon and feature various constructions such as Multi-Level Pattern Cut/Loop and Random Tipshear. Protective treatments include SSP® Shaw Soil Protection. The carpets are solution-dyed, ensuring vibrant and lasting colors. They meet flammability standards (ASTM E-648 Class 1) and have a lifetime commercial limited warranty.
Environmental Considerations
The L7 collection aligns with the Cradle to Cradle design protocol, ensuring that materials used are safe for animals, people, and the environment. The carpets can be broken down into their original components, supporting sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Conclusion
The L7 collection by Shaw Contract Group and Bruce Mau Design represents a significant shift in carpet design, focusing on color richness and environmental sustainability. This innovative approach offers a new way of experiencing and interacting with carpet products.
