MODULYSS CARPET PERFORMANCE CALLED
IN AT MONEYPENNY As part of a new £15m development that took on-board employee ideas of a dream workspace, stylish carpet tiles from modulyss have been installed throughout the entrances, work spaces and breakout areas at a leading UK telephone answering service and outsourced switchboard specialist, Moneypenny.
In a practical deep grey colour, 3,605m2 of purposeful modulyss First carpet tile has been fitted throughout open plan office spaces. A total of 390m2 of coordinating modulyss First Radiant linear design carpet tile has then been employed in various colourways, sharing the same deep grey base shade, defining areas and complementing furniture and fixtures.
“We opted for a charcoal palette and plain look for the mainstay of the floor as anything else would have been too much
with the interior features,” explained Phil Hepworth, associate at AEW Architects, responsible for the design of the new Moneypenny headquarters. “First proved the ideal option as we could use the coordinating multi-colour stripe of First Radiant to mark areas and coordinate with furniture, all while delivering the high-wear performance needed in this busy office.”
Made from solution dyed polyamide, the 1/10th gauge loop pile of First and First Radiant deliver outstanding performance, providing Moneypenny with a carpet that’s not only capable of withstanding high levels of footfall, but also stain and fade-resistance, ideal for the light-filled offices.
modulyss First and First Radiant are rated for Class 33 Commercial Heavy use. First is available in 22 colour options, with First Radiant available in seven coordinating variations. Both designs can contribute to LEED credits and BREEAM specifications.

ROYAL LUXURY: THINK BIG IN THE HOME
Quick-Step believes that the basis for any interior scheme is found in its choice of floor, a starting point from which to lift the home to new heights. This season think big by using the extra-long, extra-wide boards found within Quick-Step’s latest collections – Massimo engineered wood and Majestic laminate – to create a luxurious look and feel underfoot.
Massimo and Majestic give the room in question a rugged touch, without sacrificing elegance; the ultimate in ‘luxe’ when used in combination with marble and gold effects. Class and luxury are often considered to be from the past – the association with majestic country manors and stately town houses is readily made – and yet today we are increasingly looking back to the opulence of yesteryear. This phenomenon, prevalent on the catwalk, has now added itself to the interior agenda, allowing our design team a whole new canvas from which to work.
Sophie Hautekeete, International PR Manager, Quick-Step, explained: “The headline news is that dark is back; where 2016 saw a penchant for white and grey oaks, dark has now returned to interiors with richer hues holding sway. Those favouring a minimalist, Scandinavian approach will still be catered to, but Massimo and Majestic also champion more dramatic underfoot choice, ready-made to team with dark blues, Bordeaux red, ochre and even black.
“These colourways transport us back to the roaring twenties with a nostalgic nod to Great Gatsby-style parties, filled with flamboyant extravagance. Worked into a scheme alongside complementing finishes and decorations, dark coloured floors

really do help to create an intimate atmosphere, whether oak Massimo or authentic laminate Majestic is selected.”
Massimo represents the crème de la crème that is true wood, welcoming an unspoiled piece of nature into the home. Majestic, meanwhile, introduces 100% waterproof and scratch-resistant technical qualities, topping off authentic looks with a detailed groove that perfectly matches the surface design.
