Ege Carpets designed a custom centerpiece carpet for the annual Green Carpet Fashion Awards in Milan
For the 2019 Milan Fashion week, the 2,000 m2 big carpet welcomed guests at the Teatro alla Scala, celebrating the commitment of fashion houses towards sustainability, as they continuously work to embrace rapid global change and expectation while consciously preserving the heritage and authenticity of small-scale producers. The carpet was made of ECONYL® yarn from regenerated waste from discarded fishing nets. This type of yarn is regenerable an infinite number of times without any compromise in quality, making it possible to divert global waste streams from landfills and oceans. With this design, Ege Carpets demonstrated the suitability of sustainable carpets for demanding, large-scale design events.
