Custom carpet tile design and development
Project case study: New office in Yburg—Amsterdam
1084 m² ‐ 4708 carpet tiles ALL TILES ARE DIFFERENT
THEY MATCH TOGETHER INTO ONE LARGE DESIGN
In September 2010 a leading Dutch creative consultancy agency for corporate iden‐tity and branding, moved into their new offices in a brand new building in Yburg near Amsterdam. The office space on the 5th floor is over 86 m long and nearly 17 m wide with room for over one hundred workstations. The challenge came when the customer decided that they wanted precision cut carpet tiles forming one big design after installation. The product we selected was a 100% PA 6.6 looppile with a pile weight of nearly 700 g/m2, densely tufted on a 1/10 gauge machine. The design originates around a pillar near the centre of the building (see picture on previous page) and is composed out of 2 main elements: the first one is a set of con‐centric circles around this pillar. The smallest circle has a radius of 1350 mm, while the radius of the biggest circle ex‐ceeds 60 m!
The second design element is a grid with its origin in the centre of the pil‐lar and of which the cross‐lines form 900 mm squares. The line thickness of both design com‐ponents is only 4 mm and the back‐ground colour of the tiles is a solid mid‐beige colour. Making these thin lines match across so many tiles forming straight lines of more than 86 m long or perfect circles even in the farthest corners of the area required an accuracy never seen before. At Colorline, we are proud to be able to confirm that we delivered on time and to show you some pictures on the next pages.
