Consisting of 60 components—as varied in shape and dimension as in aesthetic configuration—it has just been released Superflex solution from the Danish producer ege Carpets it is both agile and durable. The offering incorporates two-tone sfumato compositions, tone-on-tone organic cut collages, marble and stone relief effects, florals and patchwork patterns. It aims to imbue the floors of high-traffic commercial and public spaces with more character, facilitating both stylistic expression and clever transitions between zones.
This fresh puzzle-like offering comes in 48 × 48, 96 × 96 and 24 × 96 cm formats, giving architects and interior designers more possibilities for experimentation and reconfiguration with few limitations. The super-engineered Superflex product makes it easy to play, especially when it comes to testing different arrangements, scales and tempos. Central to the collection is its decisive geometry: the bold dimensional forms of its elements, as well as the layered patterns they carry.
Emphasizing this quality noted anthropologist, behavioral and future researcher and designer Rikke Skytte. Her installation The Shape of Perception was installed during Copenhagen 3daysofdesign for the debut of Superflex. The fully realized environment — assembled using the full product range along with related loose fiber materials — sheds new light on the intrinsic links between shape and sensory resonance, a condition that humanity has experienced and narrated since the beginning of time.
Combining as a cohesive landscape of floating, fully draped freestanding sculptures—cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres, and prisms—the display also featured draped fabrics and tubular metal armatures wrapped in fabric scraps. A careful development of concise forms balanced by texture and color, not to mention the various visual effects that Superflex incorporates into the board and tile elements.
The polymath’s intention was to create moments of unexpected encounter, those that are perhaps not best expressed in words, but perceived on different emotional levels and evoked through sight, touch and even smell. This modern interpretation of a primitive cave dwelling facilitated a natural dialogue between body, material and space. Beneath this carefully calibrated curation lies a more practical goal: to show how the new carpet solution can be applied in different contexts and applications.
