MEDITERRANEO is going even more Mediterranean – with three new designs dedicated to la dolce vita
The new carpet designs in the MEDITERRANEO collection are a declaration of love to the colors, textures, and patterns of life on Europe’s southern shores. They transform maritime inspiration into modern, tangible, and sustainable forms – made of 100% recycled polyester that is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Malta lets all the fun and freedom of Mediterranean life take to the floor – with a contemporary interpretation of a tartan pattern in earthy tones, reminiscent of Maltese sand basking in the blazing sun. Subtly interwoven textures in the yarn rekindle the region’s artisanal textile tradition and create an elegant yet down-to-earth esthetic. Elba has an enchanting elegance about it that never loses its charm: The iconic striped pattern – an homage to Picasso’s signature fashion style – adds to the design with classic, refined lines. Elba’s warm tones evoke the tiled roofs and sun-drenched scenery of the Tuscan coast, conjuring up a subtle sense of Mediterranean sophistication. Corfù catches the eye with its bold, broad stripes, reflecting the untamed soul of the Greek islands. This design conveys a sense of strength and authenticity – the kind of feeling you get when you walk barefoot over sun-kissed rocks.
Riviera – the pop of color that stirs up dreams of summer
Named after the legendary stretch of the Mediterranean coast, Riviera captures the vibrant energy that summertime brings. The colorful, contrasting seam along the edge makes a vivid impact, offset by the calm and comfortable tranquility of the soft earthy tones – this carpet brings a carefree Mediterranean vibe to any space.
Designed to inspire, made to last: Sustainability and functionality are perfectly matched in MEDITERRANEO
MEDITERRANEO is based on a sustainable design concept that balances aesthetic appeal with comfort and practicality – attractive qualities that make it a favorite with interior designers and decorators who know that true beauty lies as much beneath the surface as on it. The specially developed yarn composed of 100% recycled polyester makes these carpets not only exceptionally durable, but also completely recyclable. The innovative structure of the material produces an incredibly soft feel suggestive of natural silk.
Thanks to their ability to withstand moisture, UV rays and mechanical loads, MEDITERRANEO carpets are ideal for both well-trodden interior floors and outdoor spaces.
From plastic to perfection – a circular system designed for the future
The MEDITERRANEO collection is based on an eco-friendly recycling process. Plastic waste is collected, sorted, and transformed into polyester chips, which are used to make the filament fibers that OBJECT CARPET weaves into its MEDITERRANEO carpets. Once they have reached the end of their useful life, the carpets are recycled again and fed back into the material cycle.
With the new designs, OBJECT CARPET is broadening the MEDITERRANEO collection with fresh and inspiring patterns and colors that fill spaces with Mediterranean charm while setting the highest standards in terms of sustainability – a clear statement in support of good design, the environment, and quality of life.
The new MEDITERRANEO designs made their debut at Milan Design Week 2025. They were on display at the city’s Galleria d’Arte Moderna from April 8 to 13 as part of the Trilocale installation curated by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, which aims to transform the Mediterranean way of life into an engaging and tangible spatial experience.
