Known as Elementary Shapes, the free-form carpet tiles designed by the Vorwerk company, received an award in the Innovations@Domotex category of Carpeting, Fibers and Yarn.
Elementary Shapes, which was designed by Werner Aisslinger, can be thought of as a new module for individually configurable area rugs. The Mito and Leaf variants exhibit organic, geometric shapes. On the reverse side, the individual tiles are fitted with a non-slip backing, resulting in handmade, one-of-a-kind tiles which are unique in shape, color and material. These carpet collages add a homey touch to commercial properties, according to the company.
