NEOS: organic cotton What is ‘organic cotton’? Our Neos consists partly of organic cotton, wich is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility and build biologically diverse agriculture. Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and sythetic fertilizers. In addition, federal regulations prohibit the use of genetically engineered seed for organic farming.

shadow Take your first step. Shadow is the creative combination of synthetic and natural fibers. The shiny polyester yarns guarantee ranges of colouring and some effects; the soft felted wool gives the carpet the elasticity it needs. At first sight, the carpet might look plain, but with the slightest introduction of light it becomes truly alive.
