Mannington Commercial Explores Tradition with the Heirloom Collection
Mannington Commercial introduces Heirloom, a modular plank and tile collection that celebrates the intricacy of traditional handiwork and the ability of craft to transcend language and history, spanning across various cultures and time periods.
The inspiration for Heirloom was derived from a Czechoslovakian wedding dress worn by the great grandmother of one of the designers. The design team was not only drawn to the garment’s brightly colored embroidery, pleating and hand-sewn detail, but also to its transformation due to the effects of time and use. Densely woven fabric motifs had unraveled, causing colors to fade, which highlighted delicate stitching and changes in texture.
