Quadrant Carpets, a leading UK manufacturer of commercial flooring solutions, has created the Frequency range, a highly dynamic and adaptable carpet tile, which is said to provide the designer with a wide spectrum of mood and narrative pathways for their interior design concept.
“I was inspired during a meteor shower, watching in the darkness as it was shot through with translucent light,” said James Scully, Frequency's designer, and Managing Director of Quadrant Carpets.
“We had great fun developing Frequency, and wanted to retain the feeling of dynamic movement within the tiles modularity, while the depth of colour across the range provides myriad possibilities for designers. It is a single carpet that has the capability to transform itself and the space around it.”
Vibrant colour ways
Frequency has been developed to offer designers, specifiers and end users, a contemporary tile in a palette of twelve soft through to vibrant colour ways, set on a mid or dark grey base note.
According to the manufacturer, Frequency offers countless design possibilities providing the scaffold for the total environment concept to take shape. The carpet design is said to allow the blurring between linear and geometric shapes creating visual drift where defined borders previously occurred.
Antron Lumena fibre
This concept is manufactured in the UK using the finest components, including Antron Lumena fibre, the company reports.
The unique hollow filament profile of the fibre is said to guarantee increased texture retention and high long-term resistance to matting and crushing.
The fibres are solution dyed providing the highest luminosity and colour performance over the life of the carpet. The tiles benefit from Quadrant's high density 12th gauge construction that ensures a high performance, heavy traffic commercial flooring solution, according to Quadrant Carpets.
