Bentley Prince Street is about to launch its newest carpet collection: Bare Earth and Base Metal. Two new refined wovens, this product line is made with a heathered, continuous-filament nylon yarn system. These two variations of a woven construction are minimal and timeless, perfect for a modern or classic styled interior. Bare Earth is a flatweave texture, and Base Metal, a tailored woven rib, come in 13 mid-range neutral tones.

The combination of a classical weaving technique, new technology and a new yarn system engineered for piece dying creates a minimalist carpet style.

Milliken’s new Sense carpet meets many of the tests necessary for implementation in the modern health care setting. The modular carpeting with ES (Engineered for Sustainability) backing contributes the maximum allowable points for carpet in LEED NC, CI and EB. It also holds a “Severe” rating for appearance retention, CRI green label compliance, a 10-year sustainable image assurance warranty and — as Milliken carpets have been for nearly 20 years — it’s PVC-free.
