A CREATIVE
Milliken has launched a design-led carpet tile co mental and physical wellbein
To support the safety and cultural needs of the new workplace, Milliken has created Social Factor: a collection of informational carpet tile graphics that can be easily inserted into an existing carpet tile layout.
As the lockdown begins to ease in some countries, Milliken designers have taken up the profound challenge of creating an aesthetically pleasing floorcovering collection to facilitate a safe return to work.
Milliken research has supported the theory that the floor plane can play a vital role in supporting the requirements of new workplace design. Carpet can effectively be used to define boundaries, create zones, provide wayfinding, set navigation, direct traffic and provide a measuring tool through graphic messaging, colours and patterns.
Social Factor uses Milliken’s proprietary patterning technology to bring safety messages to life with vibrant and imaginative design treatments. Social Factor floor tiles not only provide an effective way to design important new safety elements into the office layout, they also help promote a spirit of positivity and sense of security.
Social Factor carpet tiles can facilitate responsible behaviours such as social distancing and enhanced hygiene practices. Designs include distancing and directional arrows, footsteps, chair positioning and hand-washing icons. They provide a highly visible and easy to follow guide for employees returning to work. In addition they contribute wellbeing elements to improve the workplace experience: from introducing vibrant colours and beautiful patterns, to using cushion backing for improved acoustics and luxurious underfoot comfort.
