NEWSFLASH
WINNER OF THE DOMUS + KAZA CONCRETE DESIGN COMPETITION
ANNOUNCED Domus and KAZA Concrete is pleased to announce Cristina Vezzini as the winner of its inaugural concrete tile design competition. Her design will now be produced and added to the range of KAZA tiles available.
Cristina, a recent graduate from the Royal College of Art and owner of London based ceramic and glass company Vezzini & Chen, won the award for her striking PENTA design, inspired by the simplicity and intricacy of nature.
Launched during the London Design Festival 2014, the competition brief was to design a range of practical yet aesthetically pleasing, decorative concrete tiles that take in to account the idea of ‘form before function’. Entrants, who ranged from architecture and design students to practicing architects and interior or product designers, were also asked to consider the qualities of concrete in design that other materials don’t necessarily have.

CARPET CRUSHER! ACG member Clinton Carpets, based in Retford Nottinghamshire, recently purchased a Kenburn Carpet crusher as part of their commitment towards a zero waste to landfill policy.
Clinton Carpets owner Tony Brennan explained: “We visit the Flooring Show at Harrogate every year and were intrigued by the Carpet Crusher machine on the Kenburn stand. When we discovered that it costs less to recycle carpet than
it does to send it to landfill a deal was done to purchase one.
“As well as working in partnership with Carpet Recycling UK, Kenburn also works closely with waste to energy companies who use waste carpet and underlay to power concrete kilns as these waste streams have a high calorific value and all the logistics for collecting the waste are arranged by Kenburn.
“The nature of our business means we also generate large volumes of cardboard and plastic film waste as well and we use the carpet crusher to compact these waste streams in order to receive revenue from a local recycling company.
“Another added bonus of installing a Carpet Crusher has been the drastic reduction of our ever increasing skip costs”.
Simon Wells from Kenburn commented: “Our debut at the Flooring Show was amazing and far exceeded our expectations in terms of sales and enquiries and we immediately booked a stand for this year so there will be a return of the carpet crusher!
“We can visit your site anywhere in mainland UK and advise you on the potential financial savings you’re likely to make by purchasing or renting a Kenburn Carpet Crusher while at the same time diverting waste streams from landfill which can be easily recycled.”
