In 2011 Esprit home is taking new directions in floor design and completely rediscovering the world of flooring with its Esprit home islands. Vorwerk Carpets, ahighly innovative company steeped in tradition, is the newest Esprit home license partner and developing new freely scaled carpet tiles, the Esprit home islands. The next generation of textile flooring with a special new underlay. This ensures that the tiles can be safely laid on slippery surfaces, an innovation so unique that it warranted its own patent. The tiles can be positioned quickly, simply and flexibly to add lifestyle impulses to Esprit living spaces time and again.

The new Esprit home range is being kicked off with three qualities in a total of16 colour variations within the Colour Splash, Selected Nature and Modern Poetry home furnishing themes.

Store presentation is in line with the collection's new, playful approach: as opposed to the conventional sale of carpets by the metre, the Esprit home islands will be sold in packages of eight tiles per box. The lifestyle-oriented price segment also makes Esprit home islands the perfect style accessory for quickly and effectively freshening up home interiors. The recommended retail price is between $ and $ per package.

Style puzzle

The creative principle of Esprit home islands is as simple as it is stylish. Carpet tile laid beside carpet tile, the Esprit home islands create exciting and completely individual floor scapes - unique design islands.

The basic geometric form can be combined into larger islands, but can also be arranged into completely isolated patterns. Free positioning even gives monocolourpatterns extraordinary contours.

Open sections in the arrangement partially reveal the underlying floor, giving rise to a fascinating interplay between the floor and the structure of the textile tile surfaces.

You can design a fresh, personal look to your heart's desire to create different living zones, accentuate individual areas and have fun in the process. With Esprit home islands, optical and textural accents know no boundaries with regard to space and design - some do not even stop at the walls.

Whether combined in subtle monocolour or various eccentric tones, Esprit home islands offer a unique array of combinations and applications.

Sustainable can also be trendy

The Esprit home islands were developed using the innovative Vorwerk TEXtiles technology. TEXtiles is a new, environmentally friendly production method that replaces the previously conventional PVCor bitumen coating techniques used for carpet tiles. This is used to produce innovative, environmentally friendly second underlay made from strongly weft and calendered polyester fibres, which is made of 60% recycled materials and is completely recyclable. The manufacturing process is not only especially resource-friendly and ecological, it is also CO2 neutral.

The poetry is in the composition: subtle contrasts in shades, structure and materials give this Esprit home living world a refined sophistication. Furnishings unveil their true design effect in combination with romantic accessories in a vintage look. Esprit home islands in high-pile melange exude comfortable coolness.
