With permanent stain and fade-resistance, Antron Lumena is solution-dyed, where the colour is part of the fibre’s molecular structure and so Antron works to make sure that the palette available to carpet designers is both commercially relevant and future-proof.
With the Global Colour Trend Forecast, now in its fifth edition, INVISTA Antron works with leading trend forecasters to present colour themes impacting commercial interiors; while customer feedback, workshops and the efforts of its global development team also help to shape the colours available to designers.
For this year, 1385dtex Antron Lumena carpet fibre now has 19 new colours driven by the results of its work into colour, presenting tone-on-tone nuances and powerful high-impact hues and bringing more than 200 different options for carpet designers to experiment with. From metallic shades in mineral, silver and granite that would make excellent functional bases, through to flashes of vibrant fuchsia, oceanside and citron; the new colours work to provide a rich resource.
Heike Schmidt, Product Development, INVISTA Antron® carpet fibre, comments:
“When developing palettes for Antron Lumena, we must first present a balance between functional, almost workman colours and those designed to serve as highlights or bold feature blocks, while ensuring that any introductions reflect global workplace trends. Our updated 1385dtex bank achieves this, with new colours to inspire carpet designers to create truly extraordinary designs, that in turn, will help to play their own part in shaping commercial interiors over the next few years.”
