Shaw Contract introduced Desert Lights, a new carpet and rug collection that draws inspiration from the plants, animals, and geography of the American Southwest, as well as the brilliant hues and subtleties of desert light as it transitions from dawn to dusk. Always underfoot, the collection emulates the sun’s warmth on millions of years of compact Earth, soothing those who move through hospitality spaces.
Desert Lights is Rockwell Group’s sixth collection in collaboration with Shaw Contract and features two different construction methods. The first is broadloom carpet utilizing Tailor Tuft, a custom tufting broadloom machine and proprietary technology that produces cut-and-loop construction that allows for pile height customization, resulting in plush, detailed, and sculpted surfaces. The second is broadloom carpet utilizing Canvas, a high-speed printed production in 76 dpi high-definition. This dye injection technology delivers five times the clarity of existing carpet color processing machines. Two of the custom patterns in the rug offering are available as running line rugs or broadloom. These rugs are finished with serged edges for a more high-end residential aesthetic.
