Luxury carpet brand SYLKA was named as a finalist at this year’s International Design & Architecture Awards 2022 for its latest innovation, EcoSylk.
Launched earlier this year, this innovative new fibre system is crafted using sustainable yarns regenerated from recycled carpets that would otherwise end up in landfill.
Following a harrowing trip to the USA to see how millions of tonnes of used carpets are sent to landfills, the award-winning team behind SYLKA Carpets set about developing a ‘circular solution’ that would ensure that every carpet created not only comes from recycled fibres but that every carpet they produce are themselves fully recyclable.
This new development now replaces its previous fibre, NuSilk, across all of SYLKA’s range of opulent carpets and rugs so that clients continue to enjoy some of the world’s best flooring while preventing thousands of tonnes of used carpets from going to landfill.
Judges at the International Design & Architecture Awards 2022 were impressed by SYLKA’s commitment to sustainability and shortlisted them for the Flooring: Carpets/Rugs at this year’s awards.
