ege Carpets Mounted an Immersive Display Tying Shape to Sense
Comprising a whopping 60 components—as varied in shape and dimension as they are in aesthetic configuration—the just-released Superflex solution by Danish producer ege Carpets is as agile as it is durable. The offering incorporates two-tone sfumato compositions, tone-on-tone organic-cut collages, marbled and stone-relief effects, florals, and patchwork patterns. Its aim is 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, furnishing interior architects and designers with more possibilities to experiment and reconfigure with few limitations. The hyper-engineered Superflex product facilitates play, especially when it comes to testing different layouts, scales, and rhythms. Central to the collection is its resolute geometry: the bold dimensional forms of its elements, as well as the layered motifs they carry.
Emphasizing this quality was noted anthropologist, behavioral and futures researcher, and designer Rikke Skytte. Her The Shape of Perception installation was mounted during Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign to debut Superflex. The fully realized environment — assembled using the full range of the product alongside related loose-fiber materials — shed fresh light on the inherent links between shape and sensorial resonance, a condition humankind has experienced and recounted since the dawn of time.
Coming together as a cohesive landscape of floating, fully sheathed standalone sculptures — cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres, and prisms — the display also featured draped fabrics and tubular metal armatures wrapped in textile scraps. A careful deployment of succinct forms was balanced by texture and color, not to mention the various visual effects Superflex incorporates across its plank and tile elements.
The polymath’s intent was to create moments of unexpected encounter, those perhaps not best expressed in words but instead perceived on different emotional levels and elicited through sight, touch, and even smell. This contemporary interpretation of a primordial cave dwelling aided a physical dialogue between body, material, and space. Beneath this carefully calibrated curation lay a more practical goal: to show how the new carpeting solution might be implemented across different contexts and applications.
