MILLIKEN PROMOTES HAPPINESS AT
DESIGN WEEK From 21-23 May 2019 Clerkenwell played host to one of the largest and most popular celebrations of design in the UK: Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW). Milliken has been a showroom partner since the event’s inception in 2009 and took part again in its tenth year.
Because wellbeing is at the core of Milliken’s design ethos: creating flooring with superior acoustic performance and exceptional underfoot comfort, events focussed on the pursuit of happiness. There were product launches, talks and workshops that offered a bright, energetic, colourful and happy perspective on wellbeing. Continuing the theme of working with local artists for its CDW identity Milliken collaborated with London-based illustrator and designer Erin Aniker to creatively communicate its vision of a happy workplace.
Milliken launched its latest carpet plank and tile collections ‘Fractals’ and ‘Poise’ which use Milliken’s proprietary Millitron patterning technology to combine soft organic patterning with subtle washes of beautiful colour in a complex textural luxurious construction. Both collections come with Comfort Plus cushion backing to provide the ultimate in underfoot comfort as well as offering
positive acoustic benefits. ‘Comfortable Concrete 2.0’ and extensions of Milliken’s popular ‘Clerkenwell’ and ‘Colour Compositions’ carpet tile collections were also showcased.
Internationally acclaimed artist Liz Atkins gave an abridged version of her TED Talk on how she confronts her complex compulsive condition through art. This was followed by a ‘Draw yourself a happy mind’ workshop.
There were also writing for wellbeing workshops with writer and facilitator
