Northern Soul by Milliken ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Like the music and dance scene that inspired it, the Northern Soul collection is vibrant, full of life and colour. Milliken’s unique Millitron patterning technology makes possible the detailed patterns and nuanced colours. Northern Soul cushion back carpet tiles (in a 50 x 50cm format) are fun and upbeat; capturing the rhythm of music through mark-making, patterns and colours.
The collection began as part of Milliken’s partnership with Loughborough University. Student Charlotte Devereux based her design on the heritage of Wigan, where Milliken is based. She focused on the northern soul movement, born in the north of England in the late 60s in venues such as the Wigan Casino.
There are four designs in the collection. The first, Soundtrack, is inspired by retro prints and record labels of northern soul from the 70s. Millitron patterning technology is vital to being able to produce the precision pattern and colour seen in Northern Soul. Geometric shapes are created from vinyl records and the movement of spinning records and dancers is represented. Soundtrack can be used as a statement design or softened with more neutral patterns. The design works well to define walkways, in circulation areas, break-out spaces and can even be used as a ‘feature rug’.
Next is Night Flyer, inspired by northern soul club flyers, posters and tickets. Retro colouring, typography and graphics taken from the era. Textures capture the essence of movement. This design provides a bold statement pattern to create a showcase feature.
The third design, Strobe Light, is inspired by club culture lighting. It denotes linear patterns cast through strobe lights, with playful and contemporary modern herringbone effect and ease of fitting.
And finally, Floor Filler, inspired by northern soul dance floors. Contemporary commercial tones can be varied from tile-to-tile to replicate the changing light effects seen on a dance floor. Where required, it can be used to give the appearance of one overall colour.
Northern Soul is available with TractionBack 2.0 adhesive-free installation: a more sustainable, healthier and more efficient method of carpet installation.
The Northern Soul collection is made from Econyl yarn, which uses 100% regenerated content. As part of Milliken’s M/PACT Programme, it offers impressive Green credentials from recycled content to responsible end of life reuse.
