A playful look with carpet tiles

Published on 14 December 2018

In a lot of modern business interior carpet tiles are, due to their modular properties, a welcome addition.

MODULAR, therefore FLEXIBLe

A modular floor is very useful at (home) offices, office gardens, flex spots and public spaces, like schools and government buildings. Where spaces demand an atmospheric, functional and flexible set-up, you can’t go wrong with carpet tiles. These can be relocated at any time. That way you can create nuances that move along with the (changing function of the) space. Provided you don’t glue the tile of course…

Freedom to vary

Why hold onto default shapes and sizes? With carpet tiles you aren’t bound to defined frameworks and you can assemble an completely own floor design. With interior materials in special patterns and colorways a floor truly comes to life. Carpet tiles create the ultimate freedom to vary with:

  • colors (unicolor or mixed)
  • structures (long- and short piled)
  • shape (square, rectangle and other)
  • size (small or big)

Multitude of sizes

Within the interior world 50×50 cm is a conventional size. But interiors do themselves short by taking these sizes as starting point. Why not a rectangle, like a plank size? A smaller or bigger size? Or why not cut a tile crosswise to create to identical triangles? By posing them as a tangram or mosaic results a very special interplay of shapes. You can combine to your heart’s content.

carpet tiles: playful and vivid

The playful and vivid nature of carpet tiles comes forward well in the ‘serious game’ Game of Life of GGD Amsterdam. Truly a tribute to the versatility of carpet tiles. One where the functionality shifts form flooring to gamification. On a life-size game board players and spectators get acquainted in an interactive way with a new perspective on health. Using printed character cards and assignment tiles, the participants improve the understanding of their own positive health.

CREATIVE applications all around

This is just one example of the many possibilities. The flexibility of carpet tiles opens the doors for a playful space finishing:

  • Zoning: the application and demarcation in big open spaces. In multifunctional spaces like office gardens carpet tiles help keep oversight. Defining sitting or lounge areas, flex spaces, coffee corners and meeting spaces is child’s play. For example by creating optical division lines with the use of line play and variation in the use of color. With a potential rearrangement the pattern simply changes along. The carpet tiles can also be placed adjacent to an existing carpet to put some accents.
  • The creation of a ‘woven effect’. By installing carpet tiles of one and the same design perpendicular to each other a woven structures results. The direction of the thread this way forms a unique woven pattern for an optical 3D effect.
  • A retro look with ‘pixel art’. With some imagination carpet tiles look somewhat like enlarged pixels. Nowadays pixel art has built a huge fan base. A nostalgic pixel look of existing images makes every floor playful.

In short: you are in full control as to how you shape the creative design. Do you use long or short piled carpet or a combination? Neutral shades or bold colors? Mix & match to your hearth’s content.
