NORDIC STORIES

Hi All!

Happy rainy Friday!  I think it is finally tapering off and appears to be SUNSHINE ahead this weekend!  Stop a moment if you will and check out this new collection from Milliken!  I always enjoy seeing the imagery of inspiration shown on every contract folder along with a story!  Hope you enjoy the new collection! 

 INSPIRED. INSPIRING.

 Nordic Stories is inspired by the textural landscape, geological extremes, folklore and modern culture of the Northern Hemisphere. Muted natural tones, black volcanic rock, deep blue lakes, rich golden moss, graphic landforms and bold architecture. This Collection represents the sensory experience that is the Nordics, a series of diverse countries with distinct identities that have collectively helped to define contemporary design culture.

Color Reference Vol I & II

Hi ALL! 

The time has finally come… Color Reference ONLINE!  This is such an exciting tool to utilize when working in a specific color range!  Be sure to have your Vol I (warm) & II (cool) on hand when you want to search by color.  Simply click on the color of choice from our Products Catalog tab and voila .. it will show you all the available products we have in that color.  Great for coordinating products in our line. 

http://www.millikencarpet.com/en-US/products/productcatalog/Pages/product-catalog-search

HOW IT WORKS |

Milliken’s Color Reference numbering system enables easy color coordination with other Milliken products. 

·         The last two (or sometimes three) digits in the color number indicate the overall color of the product.  This is the Color Reference number that can be used to identify coordinating colors across product lines. 

·         There can be up to three additional numbers, separated by hyphens preceding the overall color, that are secondary colors.  These are provided to coordinate accent products.

Let’s look at one of the examples shown below – Windowscape.  Although this design has multiple colors, 42 is the color reference number representative of the overall color.  89 and 14 are color reference numbers indicating secondary accent colors.  The order of the dominance is indicated by order from right to left, with right-most numbers being more dominant. 

If you do not have the NEW Color Reference binders on your shelf and would like them, please let me know!  *Please note the older binders are still current although they do not have the full range of colors offered in Vol I & II.

FRETWORK

Hi ALL!  Happy hump day! 

What better way to get you thru Hump day then to take a peek at one of the latest and greatest Milliken has to offer!  Introducing… FRETWORK! 

INSPIRATION |

The Fretwork collection brings unprecedented detail through precision and lightness of line. The rhythmic and interlacing mathematical patterns create a lace effect that is both modern and architectural—almost as though there is a delicate geometric scrim stretched across the floor plane. The fresh white lines or soft dark lines offer exquisite precision line quality through the use of advanced digital technology.

Crosshatch | Harmonic | Brise Soleil  | Kaleidoscope

Introducing -- "FRETWORK"

- Tufted, Loop/Tip-Shear

- 1 meter TILE

- 4 pattern | 24 colorways

- Rated for Heavy Use

- Milliken Lifetime Warranty Packages (13)

- Yarn Type | Milliken-Certified WearOn® Nylon Type 6,6

- Standard Backing | PVC-Free Comfort Plus® ES cushion

(Comfort Plus® is available with TractionBack®)

Designed by Cresta Bledsoe, Fretwork consists of 4 geometric patterns that range in scale and have edgeto- edge matching for uninterrupted, continuous pattern when used alone, or precise registration when patterns are used together. The fine interlocking patterns achieve the rare dichotomy of large scale pattern that becomes a subtle, understated textural plane.

ART MEDIA

Hi All!  Happy Hump Day!

 

Another great introduction to share! -- Introducing ** ART MEDIA ~ BEST OF 2013 NEOCON GOLD ENTRY FOR CARPET- MODULAR TILE

 

 

“Milliken explores the boundaries of ‘Art Media’ and ‘Media Art’, as the floor plane becomes a canvas for larger-than-life installation art or the fine detail that feels like an intimate secret through the use of advanced digital printing.”

INSPIRATION |

ART MEDIA is a library of patterns reinterpreting iconoclastic modern art techniques and media: Charcoal, Chalk, Graphite, Action Painting, Drip Painting, and the optical illusions of Op Art.
 

Designed by Cresta Bledsoe, ART MEDIA consists of six patterns that offer a variety of quintessential modern art aesthetics in a range of scales that are completely versatile from large focal point installation art to neutral and planar textural ground. The optional Canvas edge details can act as a border or transition.

 

Introducing -- "Art Media Collection"

 

• Tufted, tip shear and looped
• Milliken-Certified WearOn® Nylon Type 6,6
• 6 patterns | 12 color with direct coordination to color reference system
    (Op Art has 20)
• 1 meter tile
• Rated for Heavy use
• Total Recycled Content: ES Backing: 25% Pre-Consumer; 
     ESP Backing: 16% Pre-Consumer, 9% Post-Consumer
• Milliken Lifetime Warranty Packages (13)
• PVC-Free Comfort Plus™ ES cushion

 

CHARCOAL | Soft, but boldly gritty, Charcoal is non-directional line work on a static ground that features a subtle striae in the background. The striae is smears from the charcoal itself, giving this design a slightly superior wear-ability compared to a complete solid. Charcoal is the largest scale pattern and the only precision set ‘medallion’ pattern repeat in the collection. Charcoal is a 4-tile precision set, ‘medallion’ pattern repeat that perfectly achieves drama for large scale spaces and small feature areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHALK > Chalk is a medium-scale, rhythmic, continuous-flowing line made up of three linear layers of varying thickness, line weight, and smudges, delivering a scrawled-on-chalkboard effect. Chalk is a 9 random multi-tile repeat.

 
 
 
 
 
 
GRAPHITE > A small scale pseudo-linear rhythmic pattern made up of 3 layers of varying thickness, line weight, and smudges, having a scrawled on chalkboard effect. Graphite is a 6 random multi-tile repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTION PAINTING > A large scale dramatic and gestural pattern, Action Painting refers to the use of the whole body to paint – not just a hand and brush. These paintings are created by moving around a large canvas on the ground and spattering painting from all sides to create a non-directional, but animated paint texture. The Action Painting pattern is bold and while there are a couple of neutral color ways, most are multi-color in approach.  Action Painting is a 4 random multi-tile repeat. ** Faded canvas edge shown here!

 

DRIP PAINTING > The smaller scale of the two, Drip Painting is an abstract art in which the paint is dripped onto the canvas using unconventional tools such as sticks or hardened brushes. This technique creates a unified overall pattern that allows the eye to travel across the whole canvas – or floor plane in this instance. All-over line and drip texture allows for no positive or negative space where there is no figure or ground. Drip Painting is a 4 random pattern with no pattern repeat- every tile is unique.

 

OP ART > Op Art was a modern art movement influencing major trends such as Bauhaus and the DeStijl movement, but hit iconoclastic status in the mid-century. It focuses on illusion or optical tricks. Here, we have used precise line work to draw-in the viewer and also expand with a modern iconic starburst that perfectly utilizes the modular tile format. The pattern occurs from the tile corners with seams becoming part of the pattern, and therefore camouflaged. Additionally, the centers of the tiles are unique to create a very large scale random super graphic. This can be bold or a very subtle, near solid, depending on color way.  Op Art is a 9 random multi-tile repeat.

 

** Additionally, as an optional accessory or trim tile, we offer canvas left or canvas right patterns on CHARCOAL, CHALK, GRAPHITE, ACTION & DRIP PAINTING. These tiles feature the perimeter of the artwork where the pattern fades to the canvas edge. This creates opportunities to define circulation, create a ‘white space’ edge to transition to other modular flooring, or as edge detail to transition to hard surface floor. The pattern consists of a companion right or left version tile, for all 4 of the tiles. These canvas edge tiles are to be installed precisely paired with their corresponding tile.  ** Shown on Action Painting above.
