Patcraft has introduced its carpet tile collection, Isle of Skye, incorporating natural design for performance within the built environment. Featuring visuals inspired by Isle of Skye in Scotland, each style incorporates a pallet of colors and style variations inspired by wanderlust and discovery of the environment. This collection was developed through a year-long design process that led Patcraft designer, Rob Powell, to travel through Scotland, beginning in Edinburgh, through Aberdeen, Inverness and concluding in the Isle of Skye.
The three 12-by-48-inch apportioned pattern scales, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness work together. The collection features 12 colorways of usable neutrals with a pop of metallic accent color inspired by reflections of light within nature:
- Edinburgh is a textural pattern representing nature while creating harmony. It is the small-scale base pattern that pairs with Aberdeen and Inverness.
- The medium scale of Aberdeen emulates the natural movement of wind, water and clouds to create a sense of calm.
- Large-scale Inverness caps off the collection with a geometric based on dry mortarless stone walls infusing manmade order in design.
Isle of Skye carpet tiles are comprised of the Patcraft Solution Q Extreme fiber and EcoWorx tile backing, and are backed with lifetime warranties and designed to yield long-term appearance retention and durability. Each product can be cleaned with hot water extraction, and the tile format offers the opportunity for selective replacement to minimize operational interruptions and cost.
