The Altered Form collection was named Best of Year for the Flooring: Carpet/Broadloom category. Inis Mór, a modular carpet collection, won for New Low Environmental Impact Solution – a new category for the Best of Year Awards celebrating sustainable design.

“Best of Year Awards are incredibly meaningful as they represent the opinions of architects and designers in the field every day,” commented Stacy Walker, Global Director of Customer Experience for the Milliken floor covering division. “At Milliken, we believe that good design, sustainable products and environmentally responsible manufacturing are imperative to architecture and design - and it matters to our clients, partners and industry as a whole.”

Best of Year winner for Flooring: Carpet/Broadloom

Inspired by the first law of thermodynamics, Altered Form takes an inquisitive view of the earth's natural resources as it transitions from one form to another – and through that transition, creates inspiring pattern formations, the company reports.

Two perspectives, micro and macro, unveil striking patterns that are inherently abstract, with a balance of scale and relief. The abstraction highlights the beauty of a viewer's unique perspective, as their interpretation enhances the intrigue of the designs and discoveries within each pattern.

Inis Mór, a carbon-neutral floor covering, draws upon the influence of a traditional looped stitch. Reflected in both pattern and construction, the all loop textile is said to deliver incredible resilience and durability.

The collection also contributes to green building certifications and is manufactured by Milliken, a third-party certified carbon-negative family of companies by the respected Leonardo Academy. The collection was constructed with various sustainable attributes taken into consideration, including:

• Aquafil Econyl Solution-Dyed Nylon construction, the 100% sustainable polymer
• Built-in PVC-free cushion backing, which extends the first life of the carpet by up to 50%
• Total Recycled Content of 44%
• Available with TractionBack – a less costly, environmentally superior method for installing modular carpet, designed to eliminate the need for additional tools
