Ege Carpets Launches a Flooring Collection Fabricated from the Ocean’s Abandoned Nets

Did you know fishing nets make up a tenth of ocean waste? To help mitigate that environmental travesty, Denmark’s Ege Carpets launches Transition, a flooring collection in which Econyl yarn, fabricated from the abandoned nets, forms the loop pile. Winner of the Modular Carpet category and designed by Saguez & Partners’s product arm, Manganèse Éditions, the variegated patterns inspired by nature’s iterative renewal are reminiscent of forest floors. There’s dotted Seed, multi-tonal Leaf, mottled Fibre, and Mix, in which two or more colors blend in an ombré fade. The felt backing makes use of plastic bottles in lieu of rubber. Take advantage of the myriad earthy color palettes to subtly delineate space and provide wayfinding.
