Moooi Carpets through Faura

What Moooi Carpets makes

Moooi Carpets offers three product groups: Signature area rugs, Signature wall-to-wall carpet patterns and Signature carpet tiles. Alongside the standard collection, a configurator allows designs to be customised, and Your Own Design carpets are printed from a client's own artwork.

• Rugs: movable design pieces for floors and walls, by designers including Marcel Wanders, Claire Vos, Rive Roshan and Sjoerd Vroonland.
• Wall to wall: seamless patterns that span a room, with complete flexibility in size and shape.
• Tiles: square or hexagonal tiles that combine to cover large surfaces, such as Walking on Clouds by Front.
• Custom: the Moooi Custom Carpets, chosen in four steps: design, colours, shape and size, and finishing.

Materials

• Low-pile polyamide: a dense, even, hard-wearing surface that shows the design in sharp detail; the brand notes it suits underfloor heating, offices and hospitality.
• High-pile polyamide: a dense, soft and glossy pile with a silky surface, for walking comfort and acoustic performance; the brand's technical sheets call it soft yarn polyamide.
• Wool: a blend of 80% wool and 20% polyamide on a beige canvas, so designs appear warmer in colour.

Rugs and wall-to-wall carpet are offered in all three materials, with felt or action backing for wall-to-wall; carpet tiles come in low-pile and soft yarn polyamide. Technical specification sheets for each material can be downloaded from the brand's website.

How Moooi Carpets are made

Moooi Carpets are digitally printed. MCI Carpets uses a custom-built Chromojet 800 printer that mixes 16 basic shades at 76.2 dpi to create an unlimited mix of colours, and it produces on demand, with print files planned to use the 4-metre-wide canvas efficiently. Rolls are cut into shape and finished by hand; rolls for tiles are laser cut in a separate plant.

• Energy and water: production uses 100% renewable energy and water from the company's own spring and groundwater, and the brand says the process uses 70% less water than alternative methods.
• Materials: part of the backing is made from recycled PET bottles, and tiles are packed in recyclable cardboard boxes.
• Indoor air: the Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort Gold certificate confirms that the products meet European VOC emission criteria for indoor environments.

Sustainability
