Shaw Hospitality Group REmix collection offers hospitality carpet for public space and guest rooms

Sept. 17, 2008 - PRLog -- Shaw Hospitality Group’s new REmix Collection by Kate Korten comes to life with animated patterns and linear motifs found in advertising and art designs of the 1950s and 1960s. REmix, which offers coordinated guest rooms and public space carpet in both print and tufted patterns, debuts at HD Boutique Miami Sept. 17-18.
   Korten, whose father was a groundbreaking New York art director in the 1960s, grew up on shape, color and form, which are all reflected in REmix   . This background influenced her career and continues to provide inspiration in hospitality flooring designs.
   “The style of illustrations from that era still strikes a chord in me,” Korten said. “I’ve kept my father’s Advertising Quarterlies from the 1950s and 1960s, and I refer to them all the time. I love witty, lyrical line drawings superimposed on simple basic graphics. In REmix, I’ve tapped into that formula from a more contemporary perspective."
   “At Shaw Hospitality Group, we continually seek carpet patterns that define the language of design, and REmix is a great example of a collection that draws inspiration from advertising and design from the mid century era,” said Desiree Worsley, Shaw Hospitality Group Vice President of Marketing. “REmix not only has coordinated patterns with striking visual appeal, but it offers a sustainable, environmental choice in hospitality carpet.”
   The REmix guest room carpet is manufactured with Shaw Industries’ Eco Solution Q® nylon, which contains a minimum of 25 percent recycled content and is Cradle to Cradle certified by MBDC. Utilizing a nation-wide reclamation network, this carpet never has to enter a landfill and can be made into carpet fiber again and again. REmix for guest rooms is tufted at a facility powered by yellow grease biodiesel, a recycled restaurant by-product.
Look for this coordinated collection of guest rooms and public space carpet at HD Boutique Miami at Shaw Hospitality Booth 710 and 714 as well as the Liquid Lounge.
