Thanks to a patented process and new technology by Out for Space, the fast-growing rattan palm is transformed into an innovative wood material called Kuruun. Not only does it represent a sustainable alternative to conventional materials, helping to preserve the rainforest; it turns a wood with a limited use into a versatile material that is firmer, harder and weather-resistant.

Velvet& is the latest carpet tile collection by modulyss that introduces the on-trend look of timeworn velvet to commercial interiors. Through a random tip-sheared loop pile texture, modulyss presents lavish contrast, a tight and dense structure, interspersed by areas of luxurious velour for a rich velvet feel. By combining bright and dull yarns with an organic design through rising and falling textures and pile heights, Velvet& delivers a striking 3D effect in any setting. Available in a palette of 18 royal colours, including rust, navy, ocean, burgundy, ochre, purple and grey.
