BE CREATIVE: FORUM FOR GREAT IDEAS – a statement of individuality

Individuality is becoming more and more significant in our society. So it’s all the more important to express your own personality. The same holds true when you are designing spaces. Especially when planning large, public spaces – lobbies, waiting areas, in the hospitality and restaurant business as well as in large sites in private areas – new inspirations are often hard to find. Trends get copied and one room starts to look like the next. That’s why OBJECT CARPET believes the time has come to make a statement about individuality and give uniqueness more room to breathe. More room for bold, independent creations. With the FORUM FOR GREAT IDEAS, the manufactory for premium floor covering is calling on architects and planners to make a statement and counter conformity. The designer couple
Kathrin and Mark Patel have now prepared a pool of innovative floor creations in line with this project, opening up new dimensions: FORUM is bursting with creativity and is a source of inspiration to create customised floors with maximum freedom. The carpet specialists are thus opening up a new chapter in the world of floor covering. “Whether for an office, commercial building or hotel: Each new project places great demands on architects, planners and interior professionals,” explains CEO of OBJECT CARPET, Lars Engelke. “FORUM provides numerous ideas for floor design and also offers space for individual creations.” Because in addition to the design inspirations that can be found at the “FORUM FOR GREAT IDEAS”, based on the expansive range of designs, colours and styles, individual versions can also be put together to reflect every personal taste. This results in lively floor designs for exceptional presentations.

In a word: “Our new production method enables photorealistic presentations with no limit to the number of colours,” Lars Engelke emphasises. “We are one of the first manufacturers in Germany to use this technology to such a perfected degree.” Entirely new shades and gradients of colour can be realised with this process. With a width of up to four meters and in  all conceivable variations. From broadlooms and acoustic tiles to a mix of both combined with RUGX – you’re free to choose whatever you like. 18 designs in four coloured versions and four styles kickstart the imagination. As always at OBJECT CARPET, they are on the cutting edge, sustainable, innovative and of premium quality.

Floral patterns and flower collages in SOFIA, art deco with a metal effect in LEAH or a young, urban architecture for co-working in two colour schemes, as shown in KIMI. With OBJECT CARPET, the floor is upgraded to a stage that makes unique statements in the commercial property sector, hotels and private buildings. The carpet experts fulfil every wish at
sizes from 100 sq.m. “As a single rug, the carpets draw attention; combining or contrasting them with other OBJECT CARPET styles is a clever way to structure rooms. It creates zones that become aesthetic eyecatchers in shops, hotels and open-plan offices and have a positive influence on the atmosphere”, Engelke states. With FORUM, OBJECT CARPET perfectly applies its full expertise in floor design, allowing a spectacular mix of all styles. “Throughout Germany, no provider offers such an enormous variety of convincing designs, the WELLTEX® backing construction and high-quality styles as OBJECT CARPET”, Engelke points out. The structural loop, for example, makes an impression with its lively, subtle effects, such as geometric structures characterised by tiny loops of yarn. The brilliant design with the billowing,
twisted yarn actually gives the carpeting a particularly dynamic appearance. Made of 100% recycled ECONYL® yarn, the textile flooring is also extremely durable and has a very good life cycle assessment. The woven products stand for perfect precision. The unique weaving technology combined with the finely shimmering yarn makes this style a highlight for aesthetes and purists. The woven products are easy to care for and dirt-resistant thanks to the exclusive ECONYL® brand fibres, which make the flat weave highly resilient and fully suitable for interiors. Glossy velours offers a velvety appearance in a class of its own. It fascinates with its artful structuring, maximum walking comfort and outstanding acoustic properties. Additionally, the silky, shimmering surface exudes a distinctive flair and creates an unmistakable impact with its iridescent shine. Another advantage: The ANTRON® Polyamid 6.6 brand fibres are known for
their durability and can stand up to any demand. With its subtle elegance, Uni velours also inspires. Characterised by a restrained, flat matt surface, it also captivates with the precisely drawn effect of its surface structure and with its extreme durability.

By default, all FORUM styles feature the WELLTEX® Akustik Plus backing construction developed specially by OBJECT CARPET and contribute significantly to balanced spatial acoustics. Of course they are produced in compliance with strict environmental guidelines and thus always made of environmentally compatible materials. This is how the interplay of design, quality, ecology and its execution as broadlooms, tiles or RUGX turn the creative hotspot FORUM into an ingenious toolkit for the design of modern, customised floor covering. And it can be experienced at the click of a mouse: OBJECT CARPET makes the texture data of the FORUM design inspirations available for download to planners (www.object-carpet.com/planungsdaten) and additionally enables them to make their own floor designs with a configurator tool (www.object-carpet.com/de/konfigurator). The carpet specialists also offer planners the freedom to create their own flooring, independently of the designs shown on these pages. Because FORUM encourages very personal, creative visions.
