Sumario:The article reports that new technologies in contract carpet not only make way for products that are more sustainable, comfortable, and maintainable, but allow for more sophisticated patterns and color palettes. Specifiers can also easily visualize the end result through an array of user-friendly carpet design software. The collection utilized Millitron, a new high-definition printing technology from Milliken Carpet that allowed SOM and Milliken designers to create fine gradations of color and layers of visual texture that simulate dimension. Milliken also reformulated colors to achieve palettes in six high-contrast color families, including blue-blacks, browns, greens, silverblues, reds, and charcoals. The three design families in the line include Riverbed, which captures the illusion of light on water.
