Shaw Contract Introduces New Styles And Colours For Its EMEA  Kindred Collection

With style Belong there is speckled interest, a moss-like touch; nubbly and versatile Belong pairs with both style Together for colour transitions and with styles from the Haven collection for co ordinating looks.

Shaw Contract EMEA has added new styles and colours to its carpet tile collection, Kindred. Created  by Shaw Contract’s EMEA Design Manager, Kerry Deffley, the new styles, Illusion and Together, create transitions in flooring designs and bring a subtle movement to commercial spaces. Apricot  and Rosewood bring a fresh, nature inspired dimension to the colour palette. These colours co ordinate with Shaw Contract’s other carpet tiles from its Haven collection. 

All styles are Cradle to Cradle Certified ® and are made in the UK in Shaw Contract’s carbon neutral  manufacturing facility in Sanquhar, Scotland. 

The Kindred tile collection was developed with pattern interplay in mind. The collection expresses  spirit and emotional connection. It now has options to combine the styles of Belong and Together or  Dream and Illusion, meaning designers have more freedom of choice.

All five styles in the Kindred collection – Belong, Dream, Illusion, Memory and Together – are  available as a 50 x 50 cm tile on TaskWorx ® backing which contains 75% recycled content. Belong and Together are also available in a hexagon shape tile. 

“The Kindred Collection offers flexibility in design and colour  including soft transitions and colourways that coordinate with other Shaw Contract styles. It brings  together both precision and softness from the world around us, and asks how we transition between  the two. This is a key influence in today’s commercial interiors market. Designed to evoke feeling  and personal connection, Kindred offers the designer a solution to celebrate the symbiosis between  technological and organic forms.”

The Shaw Contract EMEA Kindred collection explores the idea of the Natureverse, imagining new  worlds, aesthetics and solutions through the immersive powers of nature and technology.

Installed together styles Dream and Illusion offer an appearance of ripples, an organic flow/shimmer which is dreamlike and in keeping with the trend of twilight glam. Transitions shifting from bolder colour to neutral tones can create zoning with a change of mood or activity.
