Reduce, reuse, recycle: NRW, 10-16th November 2008.

November 11th, 2008

This week is National Recycling Week.

This year, the NRW campaign is focusing on ‘Recycle Right’, with the aim of educating Australians about the correct way to recycle.

Now in its twelfth year, NRW promotes responsible recycling with events and activities across the country. To join in the spirit, here are a few of our recent recycling reports.

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample pr

WORKPLACE :: A @Millikenfloorsanz carpet sample provided inspiration for the colourful fit-out of the Ultimate Security head office in Sydney. @inspiredspacesaus and Milliken closely collaborated to bring the vibrant vision to life.

Inspiration can sometimes spring from surprising places – and for the vibrant fit-out for the new Ultimate Security headquarters in Sydney’s Concord, it came from a Milliken carpet sample. The brief to interior design studio Inspired Spaces was to create an open-plan workplace to serve the company both now and in the future, with additional space that would be attractive as a leasing destination and allow for expansion.

The result is a visually exciting scheme across the 2,000-square-metre space, elevated through a bold approach to colour. The monochromatic backdrop – think greys and whites offset by graphic black crittal-style window frames and shelving for verdant greenery – comes to life through pops of warm oranges, yellow, and reds that echo the colours in the Milliken carpet.

Milliken’s Creo range evokes the famous street art of Brazil and – in keeping with the company’s focus on giving designers choices that allow them to express themselves – is offered in three colourways and three pattern families.
