If you missed this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week 2024 – fear not, we’ve pulled together our top five special moments and takeaways from an eventful three days of talks, workshops and tours. Milliken’s Berry Street Showroom was a celebration of colour, pattern and floral abundance as we welcomed hundreds of people through the doors to experience the launch of Milliken’s latest carpet tile and plank collections. With colourful insights and inspirational pattern, the packed programme was designed to stimulate all the senses.

Tracing Landscapes, originally launched in 2018, has proved to be one of Milliken’s most popular carpet tile collections. Leap forward 6 years’ and so much has changed in the world of work and colour trends that Milliken’s design and marketing team decided to take a fresh look at the collection and relaunch it with a new palette of colours.

Painted Garden is a British designed and made carpet plank collection. Milliken’s in-house design team took as their starting point elements of the art and nature to create a delicate imaginative  result.

Millitron® patterning technology has been evolving since it was first engineered over 50 years ago and revolutionised the world of commercial flooring. Today, the patented carpet design system is a high-tech, digital colour placement process which, in its latest incarnation, is opening up exciting new possibilities for Milliken’s global design team.

In 2021, Milliken’s Clerkenwell Showroom was the first building of its kind in the UK to be awarded the IWBI’s highest level of certification for its WELL Building Standard. With insights into the features and practices of Milliken’s impressive showroom in London’s iconic design district, you will learn in this blog what it takes to reach and maintain WELL Platinum Certification.

Making the office a place where people really want to be can prove challenging for many employers in today's hybrid-working landscape. Creating a physical environment where they feel stimulated, will thrive, feel mentally positive and consistently productive can go a long way to achieving this.

In our blog 5 WAYS IN WHICH FLOORING CAN IMPROVE WORKPLACE WELL-BEING we referenced how naturalistic, or ‘biophilic’ inspired workplace interiors help calm the senses and promote positive mental health in employees. Exploring this idea further, in this blog we consider what this means for today’s workplace interiors and how the latest development in floor coverings can help you achieve biophilic bliss.

Attracting workers back into the office environment has been a challenge for many businesses since the pandemic. For those that have succeeded, ensuring employees continue to feel motivated, fulfilled and want to stay presents a whole new challenge.
