Hello! Today, I would like to talk about an important element that determines the elegance of a space: flooring. Among them, I will introduce the carpet 'ANKER,' loved by architects and designers worldwide, rooted in German craftsmanship since 1854.ANKERcarpets.
Let's explore the charm of ANKER, which has passed the most stringent standards, from global airlines to the Berlin Parliament, going beyond simple flooring!
1. German Heritage Started in 1854.
ANKER was founded in 1854 in Düren, Germany, by Leopold Schoeller. This company boasts a history of over170 years, possessing globally unique know-how in carpet manufacturing.
Since its founding, ANKER has shown uncompromising dedication to quality. Through its headquarters and factory in Düren, three factories in Germany, and a factory in Wuxi, China, it supplies premium carpets worldwide.
2. The World's Leading Airline Carpet Manufacturer.
A key term that cannot be omitted when describing ANKER is 'Aviation.' The interior of an airplane is a place where numerous passengers pass through, making the durability and stability of the carpet extremely important.
- Global Leader: ANKER is the world's leading aerospace carpet manufacturer. In 2018, it became the largest airline carpet manufacturer in the world.
- Major Partners: Official partners of global airlines and aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus, American Airlines, and Emirates.
- Technology:It possesses innovative technology, such as developing the lightweight carpet 'AIRlight®' that reduces the weight inside aircraft to decrease carbon emissions.
If the quality is recognized even in the sky, then the durability in our offices or hotels goes without saying!
3. Design: Creative Collaborations Beyond Le Corbusier.
ANKER goes beyond being a simple flooring manufacturer, constantly interacting with timeless design icons and global brands to implement new inspirations into flooring.
- The master of architecture, Le Corbusier.
- ANKER is the only brand in the world that perfectly embodies Le Corbusier's color philosophy in carpets.
- # Perlon Rips LCS:This collection captures Le Corbusier's 'Polychromie Architecturale' 63-color system. It is a unique solution that can consistently connect the color balance of the space intended by the architect to the flooring.
- # Awards:This design excellence has been proven through numerous international design awards, including the Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award.
- Premium textile brand, rohi
- ANKER is expanding the limits of textile flooring through collaboration with the German high-end wool fabric manufacturer 'rohi'.
- # CREATE STUDIES:The design teams of ANKER and rohi conducted a joint design research project called 'CREATE STUDIES' with the goal of 'translating abstract concepts into textiles'.
- # PINK! & CREATE SPIRIT:Starting with the first design study 'PINK!', born from the collaboration of the two brands, we are continuously developing innovative patterns and textures. The results of this collaboration have also won the Red Dot Design Award, recognizing their artistic value.
- Bespoke for Architects
- ANKER provides custom solutions for projects by world-renowned architectural masters such as 'Norman Foster (Foster+Partners)'.
- # Reichstag (German Parliament):ANKER's custom woven carpets have been installed in the dome and main chamber of the Berlin Parliament designed by Norman Foster. Additionally, bespoke designs reflecting the diverse requirements of architects, including projects by Zaha Hadid, enhance the completeness of the spaces.
4. Sustainability
ANKER spares no effort for a sustainable future under the belief that 'carpets must be 100% recyclable'.
- ECONYL® yarn:We use 100% regenerated nylon yarn (ECONYL®) made from recycled fishing nets and other waste to reduce carbon emissions.
- Eco-friendly backing:We do not use PVC or bitumen (asphalt components) in the carpet backing material at all. Instead, we use acoustic felt made from recycled plastic bottles, effectively recycling about 60 500ml PET bottles per square meter.
- Blue Angel certification:We have obtained the 'Blue Angel' certification, awarded to products that meet strict environmental standards, ensuring indoor air quality safety.
