Milliken Floor Covering Collections Celebrating Art, Nature and Color Introduced in Indonesia Full product portfolio now available exclusively through VIVERE SHANGHAI - Milliken’s diverse range of floor covering products, now on display at VIVERE, is transformative. In its own unique way, each collection conveys inspiration, mood and movement. Three collections, Color Field, Art Media and Naturally Drawn, illustrate this by examining the power of color, art and nature, respectively. All three designs, as well as the entirety of Milliken’s Asia Pacific portfolio, are available exclusively in Indonesia through VIVERE, a commercial furniture and flooring dealer. Color Field introduces a spectrum of hues and tonality through its reinterpretation of its eponymous art form, color field painting, popular in the 1940s. Art Media transforms any space into an exhibition, harnessing a variety of artistic mediums through layers of color. Naturally Drawn examines nature’s landscapes, using watercolor, pencil sketches and ink to capture the essence of natural vistas. Notably, each collection is PVC-free, carries a Declare® transparency label, and is certified to CRI Green Label Plus. “Color Field, Art Media and Naturally Drawn highlight a variety of colors, textures and styles suitable for any interior environment,” said Milliken’s Design and Marketing Director in Asia, Elizabeth Kang. “They are representative of the level of creativity, quality and innovation that defines our product offeringand Milliken as a company.” Color Field – Inspired by the large swaths of color represented in the abstract expressionism style of ‘color field’ painting, this collection, designed by Susan FitzGerald of Milliken’s U.S. Design Team, explores the details created when the distinction between subject and background are eliminated. With the ability to discern layers as if they were aged by nature, the collection offers 64 colors to create a quiet floor plane or allow punctuations of color with vibrant hues. Non-linear color combinations provide a highly textural, organic aesthetic reminiscent of a natural grain. The incredible color spectrum helps shape a diverse range of interior environments, from playful and imaginative to modern and sophisticated, and the ability to create large-scale pattern through strategic tile placement allows the floor to be a subtle or dominant architectural experience.
PVC-free plank design offers more organic, naturally gradated patterns shaped by precise color placement, which are only achievable with proprietary high-resolution print technology.
