Patterns with a second life
Studio Simone Post was asked to design a range of patterns with one goal: giving used carpet tiles a second life. By cutting existing tiles and recombining them, new patterns emerge and the material takes on a new look.
01
Grid 50 | 41
The Grid pattern grew out of the idea of combining whole carpet tiles. Together, the horizontal and vertical lines form a grid structure that can visually lengthen a space. Each line can be given its own colour.
02
Woven Twill
Simone Post's work is often inspired by textiles. For the Woven collection, the studio looked at traditional weaving techniques, including twill weaving. The characteristic diagonal structure of this technique forms the basis of the pattern.
03
Woven Plain
Woven Plain is based on the plain weave technique, a traditional weaving method in which horizontal and vertical threads alternate. This alternation is the starting point for how the carpet tiles are divided and repeated within the pattern.
04
Blocks
The Blocks pattern is inspired by the satin weave technique, in which the structure is created by a specific offset of the threads. Based on this technique, the studio looked for a translation that allows whole carpet tiles to be used. The positioning of the blocks prevents the same colours from lying directly next to each other.
05
Chevron
The Chevron pattern is based on the recognisable zigzag structure of the chevron shape. The horizontal and vertical strips interlock and together form a continuous structure.

Designed for reuse
A key challenge was keeping the designs affordable. That is why the complexity of the installation was taken into account: too many small parts make laying the floor time-consuming and therefore costly.
Combining different colours also requires attention, because wear and discolouration of reused tiles can become visible when they are laid side by side again. The designs look for ways to make these colour differences part of the new pattern.
The starting point is that every carpet tile is used in full, so that material waste is kept to a minimum.
