anish-based Ege Carpets, one of
Europe’s leading manufacturers
Colourful rugs brighten up Din design, development and
industrial head office the production of high-quality flooring
products, recently carpeted the head
office of the company, Indeed, a major
employment agency in the Netherlands.
KBAC Flooring, with offices in Cape
Town and Johannesburg, is the exclusive
supplier of Ege products in South Africa.
Indeed’s prestige 2 000m2 head office,
based in Amsterdam’s historic harbour
district, has a very industrial look and feel
about it. To soften the space, and bring in
a colourful design element, the Canvas
Collage Collection by Ege was selected as
a rug installation.
The Canvas Collage rugs were fitted
on existing LVT flooring in Indeed’s
open-space reception area, the company’s
canteen, as well as the lounge areas used
for informal meetings and relaxation.
The rugs are particularly impressive in
the sprawling reception area with its
large mural depicting people working in
Amsterdam, which ties in beautifully with
the ethos and culture of Indeed.
This beautiful Ege collection was
developed by Dutch designer, Nicolette
Brunklaus, who refreshed and revitalised
the popular range by adding new patterns
and tones, as well as layering these
patterns and colours. The collection is
available in five designs, namely Octo,
Linen, Rewoven, Faded Dahlia and Twine.
