Brintons scores AIDA repeat
UK-based Brintons has secured a contract to be the exclusive supplier of woven Axminster carpet for the next three cruiseships to join the AIDA Cruises fleet.
AIDAbella and AIDAluna. In the case of AIDAbella, for example, the company supplied some 35,000m2

IMO-approved, 80% wool, 20% nylon Axminster, to cover all public spaces and cabins. Now Partner Ship Design, the
appointed interior designer for AIDA Cruises, has commissioned the company to provide the same supply and contract management services for the next three ships, starting with AIDAblu, to be launched in 2010. Brintons has had a relationship with

Wing chair upgrade
Morgan Contract Furniture chose the Seatrade Miami event, staged in March, to launch ‘Seville’, which it presented as a “modern take on the traditional wing armchair”. The armless lounge chair was said to offer a “versatile choice for any interior scheme”, by virtue of its modest footprint, but also because it is available with a variety of detailing, such as nail trim, contrast piping or buttoned back attributes. Designed to match, and also new for 2009, is the Seville coffee table – available in a round or oval topped model, and featuring tapered legs and chrome steel detail. The top can be of veneered or frosted glass, according to specification.
rintons, of Kidderminster, has already played a major role in shaping the interiors of AIDAdiva,
Carpet onboard AIDAbella. “To deliver a successful interior
to a cruiseship, the relationship and understanding between the supplier, the owner and the shipyard is vital,” Partner Ship
Design senior partner, Kai Bunge, said. “Te quality that Brintons delivers is exceptional on every occasion and that is accepted and appreciated by everyone involved.” NA
