The collection is based on non-directional patterns of coloured dots, which appear to result in ever new graphical images and are perceived in various ways when viewed from different angles and distances. Numerous shades serve as a basis for the composition and highlighting of 34 colour variations. With this wide variety, the pixel-like patterns invite to create various combinations – to design one’s own unique landscapes. On top of this, Hem combines the playful lightness of varying patterns with an extremely hard-wearing and durable woven carpet. The pleasant feel and high quality of the 2-frame woven material adds a lively as well as homely feel to building interiors such as offices and hotels or private homes.
