Shaw Contract is pleased to introduce Living Systems, a new Cradle to Cradle Certified™ collection of 25 x 100 cm carpet tiles that represents a holistic design approach. Forward-thinking designers, now, more than ever, are focused on sustainability and wellbeing - seeking spaces that satisfy the personal and social ability to live and thrive, without compromising future generations. With sustainable, regenerative design at its core, Living Systems is poised to elevate modern interiors through understanding the regenerative aspiration of refurbishment, social engagement and community.

In today’s interior spaces we look for this sense of gradual change and shift. As we move between functions and activities in the workspace, we desire a sense of synergy and cohesion. To meet this design need, Shaw Contract has launched a new signature carpet tile collection for the EMEA market called Auxiliary.

Shaw Europe Ltd., trading as Shaw Contract, is pleased to announce that it has opened a new office, showroom and sample distribution base in Oosterhout, the Netherlands. Located in the southern Netherlands, within easy access from The Randstad, the new space offers an opportunity to showcase the company’s product portfolio and meet with clients and aligned dealers to discuss their flooring project needs.

Second chances abound in the work of emerging artist Juli Bolaños-Durman.

Dating back to the eighth century, dyeing technique consisted of taking fabrics that are bound, stitched, folded, twisted, compressed or clamped then dipping them into a colour bath. The results were not just distinctive in pattern but in depth of colour, too. The Shaw Contract design team took inspiration from this ancient textile dyeing method when conceptualising new colours to update our best-selling Dye Lab collection.

For this year’s Design Awards, we pulled together an elite group of judges from all around the globe. For us, the Design Awards are a celebration of the creative vision architects and designers bring to the world.
