SPACE 10-160
Deconstructed Formby designer Amanda Hopkins features a pattern created, in part, by exposing the floor covering’s primary backing to delineate shape and add color; in this way, the fabrication process is manipulated, becoming part of the design. Tip shearing, a technique in which carpets are woven with varying-height loops and the higher ones are cut, is also employed in the service of creating a plush texture and rich variation. Subtle metallic accents in the exposed backing add shimmer while enhancing the nearby colors. To top it all off, it’s Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver. Vive l’evolution!
