VMC Project - Habitare 2023 6h50
Welcome to our extensive project-side collection, the new textile tile Morse on display!
See you 13.-17.9.
A unique Morse carpet tile designed in Finland
As its name suggests, Morse carpet tile connects people, it tells about many different ways of communicating. Morse carpet tile calms the space with its acoustic properties and enables good interaction and soft encounters between people. Morse creates the future space for working together. The ecological LiftBAC felt base allows the tile to be reused and moved, which is an important feature for the most durable materials. Morse carpet tile is 100% textile and therefore completely recyclable. Morse has been designed together with Design Agency Fyra.
