OBJECT CARPET honored at ORGATEC 2024: AIT Innovation Award for pioneering DUO technology

OBJECT CARPET was honored with the renowned AIT Innovation Award at Orgatec 2024 for its new DUO carpet product. This prestigious distinction awarded by the trade magazine recognizes outstanding architectural developments and is selected by a jury of expert architects. A successful premiere for the DUO carpets, which were presented to a trade fair audience for the first time as part of the PLACES OF ORIGIN collection at Orgatec 2024.

This is the 13th time that architecture trade journal AIT, together with AIT-Dialog and in cooperation with Koelnmesse trade fair, has presented the Architecture+ Office Innovation Award as part of ORGATEC 2024. The competition was launched with the aim of conferring prizes for products that meet the needs of architects and interior designers in particular. The award recognizes conceptual solutions for selected properties and products that impress the judges equally in terms of both design and functionality.

A renowned jury made up of members from the fields of architecture and interior design selected the winners on the first day of the fair, October 22, 2024 from 33 products submitted by 24 companies. A total of two innovation awards, four special distinctions and two other prizes were presented.

The DUO carpets from OBJECT CARPET won over the discerning jury with their forward-looking approach of minimizing the use of materials in carpet production: The innovative carpet consists solely of high-quality polyamide and polyester, bonded with an innovative HOTMELT adhesive made of 100% polyester. After use, precise heat application makes it possible to easily separate both components and feed them into the recycling loop. Thanks to the innovative CLICK-UNCLICK technology, the two components can be separated without residues. The coating process also requires no water or gas, and reduces energy consumption to a minimum. The result is maximum design freedom with minimal use of resources.

The PLACES OF ORIGIN collection presented with the new WELLTEX Circular® acoustic backing is already the second popular collection to be converted to the groundbreaking technology after FORUM FOR GREAT IDEAS. This brings OBJECT CARPET a crucial step closer to its target of converting its entire range to DUO carpets by 2026.

“With the development of DUO carpets, our intention is not just to set functional and aesthetic standards, but also to play an active role in shaping a more sustainable future,” highlights Daniel Butz, CEO of the company. The award received at ORGATEC also recognizes OBJECT CARPET’s consistent green philosophy which is successfully implemented in its outstanding innovations.
