New tile collection from ege is a breath of fresh air
ege has just launched CONTRAST, a new collection from the popular carpet tile concept MODULAR EXPRESS. A collection which ege describes as a breath of fresh air among existing tile collections in the market.
A strong character and a modern look! CONTRAST adds new dimensions to the popular MODULAR EXPRESS concept – a concept that previously has gained footing in office environments worldwide. With five different design stories as starting point, designers Karen Lund Hansen and Stina Kruse Kidmose have put together a collection of designs ranging from subdued and classic to eye catching and style creating. A range that paves the way for new opportunities and fields of application.
Breaking well-known structures
The different patterns in CONTRAST are presented in an inspiring catalogue divided into five design stories with individual characteristics. “The inspiration is found in the daily life and environments surrounding us”, Karen Lund Hansen explains. “Nature and modern city architecture are examples of the contrasting environments that have inspired us. We have put organic surfaces and rustic structures from nature under magnifier. Architecture’s complex constructions and stringent lines are processed and assembled in new ways. The result is a broad collection of nuanced and expressive designs focusing on contrasts. Contrasts in colours and shapes and in proportions and details”, she continues.
The collection consists of 31 designs that can be recoloured and produced on a selection of ege’s well-known qualities. “With CONTRAST we wish to create a homogeneous and at the same time thrilling and vivid surface in the room. The great range of the collection makes it possible to find a style that fits, no matter what kind of environment you wish to enhance”, Stina Kruse Kidmose explains. “Both hospitality, the business world, transportation and cultural life can find designs supporting and enhancing their special identity. Furthermore, the designs can be coloured and combined as wished, which makes the collection incredibly flexible and long-lasting”.
Flexible and functional concept
The MODUALR EXPRESS concept consists of 48 x 48 cm carpet tiles that provide a broad range of advantages. The carpet tiles improve acoustics and are produced with ege’s special developed and patented textile backing. “Most carpet tile backings on the market contain PVC and bitumen, but not ege’s”, Environmental manager from ege, Jan Ladefoged, tells. “That makes us proud, and the carpet tiles are a part of ege’s great effort for a greener environment. There is also minimal wastage during installation, and we have a variety of environmental declarations documenting the environmental impact from MODULAR EXPRESS through the product’s entire lifecycle. That ensures the clients a good transparency and sense of security in use of the carpet”. In addition to this, the carpet tiles provide easy access to cables and leads located in the floor underneath, and the concept stands out for being very flexible and functional in regard to transportation and installation.
The combination of the expressive and flexible designs, the acoustic qualities and the many environmental considerations makes CONTRAST an exciting bet for a modern classic!
