Description

A tufted 1/10" gauge loop pile carpet tile, featuring a textural design manufactured from ECONYL BCF PA6 polymer fibres and suitable for heavy use areas.


DESSO Shape carpet tile is a visual exploration taken from the Tarkett carpet recycling process.

By cutting yarn fibres, taking them apart and reconstituting them – Studio Stefan Scholten created a pattern based on organic shapes, like a collage of leftover shapes that create a new picture. By using the same melange yarns as in Solid, the two concepts complement one another.


The combination of DESSO Shape and DESSO Solid offers the possibility of working with zones. The matching palette of eight colours allows you to make an appropriate and expressive statement on workplace floors.


Features and benefits:

  • Yarn manufactured from Polyamide 6 (PA6) ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon yarn developed from nylon waste.
  • Cradle to Cradle®-Silver Certified as standard.
  • EcoBase backing - Cradle to Cradle Gold-certified™ carpet tile backing, made from polyolefin granulates, containing on average 80% recycled chalk from the local drinking water industry. 
  • Also available with Cradle to Cradle Certified Soundmaster® Thrive acoustic backing.
  • Circular carbon footprint: 1.40 kg CO2/m².
  • 100% Recyclable at Tarkett’s Carpet Tile Recycling Centre – collection via Tarkett ReStart.
