by Shane Henson — December 18, 2013—Bentley recently introduced Monolith Collection, the result of the carpet manufacturer’s fourth product collaboration with Clodagh Design, a New York-based multidiscipline design firm. Irish-born Clodagh expressed her pleasure with the partnership with Bentley, citing the company’s “relentless focus on combining fine design with high performance and strong sustainable standards.”
Reminiscent of a map of connected streets and roads or the crevices and cracks in dry flat plains, Monolith provides a sense of standing firmly on the earth—grounded on a strong foundation of comfort and support, according to Bentley.
The Monolith Collection features two patterns in four construction methods: Morro Loop and Morro Shear, the collection’s large-scale pattern, and Uluru Loop and Uluru Shear, the collection’s small-scale patterns. Based on their namesake monolithic formations, Morro and Uluru are said to reflect strength and harmony.
The styles’ natural grooved patterns reportedly create a three-dimensional surface design, presenting an architecturally geometric effect, while a neutral color palette offers mass appeal and suits many styles and viewpoints.
Available in broadloom, the Monolith Collection features Antron Legacy type 6,6 nylon carpet fiber and Bentley’s High PerformancePC backing, and offers 27 colorways. The Monolith Collection is NSF-140 certified at the Platinum level, CRI Green Label Plus certified, and Cradle to Cradle certified at the Silver level, Bentley adds.
