At Topfloor, we’ve had an exciting start to 2015. We have had the pleasure of both visiting the very inspirational New Orleans, and of finally showcasing a collection that was two years in the making. Following the recent success of this collection – the calligraphy-inspired SCRIPT – we are pleased to announce the launch of another new range for 2015: CARESS.
Inspired by nature, CARESS has been put together by Topfloor’s multi-award winning design director – Esti Barnes – and comprises 22 different textures and materials including wool, mohair, merino wool, silk, linen and viscose. CARESS is available in virtually any colour or colour combination, and in different pile heights from 8-65mm.
‘Nature, in its myriad textures and colours, such as snow, grass, earth, fruit, sunset and the moon and stars, has always been a great source of inspiration for me,’ explains Esti. ‘I find many of its aspects incredibly exciting and I wanted to capture some of this in CARESS’s colour pallet and its tactile choices.’
With evocative names such as CATANIA, ANCONA, ROMA, FIRENZE, VENEZIA and GENOA, each rug picks up the style, passion and variety of some of Italy’s most iconic destinations – a fascinating country with its worldwide reputation for design and flair.
With its exceptional textures, CARESS was designed with luxurious comfort in mind and invites users to touch and feel the delightfully soft yarns used in its creation.
The rich tones – which in certain pieces feature the same smooth colour gradation of some of Topfloor’s most exclusive designs, like Envelope – add an extra level of sophistication.
CARESS rugs can be made in as little as 4 weeks – perfect for tight project deadlines. The collection is fully customisable for size, shape and colour, and simple design options are available.
CARESS caters to everyone’s touch and taste, with its broad spectrum of yarn types, including the very finest in viscose, wool, silk and others. Even the 100% linen used in LIVORNO is uncharacteristically silky.
CARESS can be ordered as rugs or for insets and wall-to-wall applications with a maximum width of 12 metres without joint and no limit on length. Stain proofing for easy maintenance is available if required. CARESS is also your best choice if you are looking for that illusive super-snowy white, to say nothing of the huge range of vibrant colours available.
Despite its low entry price of £400 per sq m, all the CARESS qualities are made by hand in Europe and they exude that unmistakable aura of class.
CARESS is debuting at Topfloor’s Chelsea Harbour showroom during London Design Week 8 -13 March and will remain on display thereafter. We look forward to your visit to view this exciting Collection!
