Essence Carpet Tiles by Desso

Leading carpet manufacturer Desso is determined to get at the root of the problem with commercial carpet. And though they don't spell it out explicitly, the contention is there by implication: much commercial carpet is largely uninspired, bereft of verve, absent any sense of joie de vivre. Not so with Desso's new Essence Collection. This new line of carpet tiles makes use of contrasting and complementary geometrical shapes to create an exciting new aesthetic in commercial flooring.

Desso's Essence Collection Provides An Eye-Catching Aesthetic and Competitive Price Point

Desso's new collection of carpet tiles is comprised of  three basic configurations: Essence, Essence Stripe, and Essence Maze. The trio provides the foundation for multiple stylistic incarnations-geometric blocks, linear patterns, and solids combine into multiple aesthetic possibilities.

Maze features a variety of geometric blocks of different dimensions that can be combined randomly, establishing a sort of computer circuitry aesthetic; while Stripe joins two colors in a playful interchange that provides a daring dash of moxie and savoir faire.

Not that savoir faire is a quality one anticipates in contract carpeting, but looking at Stripe I can't help but recall the linearly flowing scarves of dashing charismatic figures like the Red Baron or Errol Flynn. This is an exaggeration, of course, but the bold look of Desso's Essence suggests the same sense of fun and zest for life.

Nor is Essence all fun and games. The line complements high style with high function-"strong, hardwearing, and business-like at very affordable prices." Desso offers Essence in 24 colors, from anthracite gray to vibrant reds to sedate greens and cheerful yellows.
