Airlay multi-level loop carpet planks with bold colour on a classic charcoal base, for zoning and transitions. Seven colours.
Empire is a carpet plank from Airlay that brings a bold injection of colour balanced with a classic charcoal base. Its large-scale graphic flow lets colours shift and blend for zoning and transitions, an effect that is especially striking in long corridors.
Designed for education, office and hospitality spaces, it is a tufted multi-level loop in 100% solution-dyed nylon in seven colourways, from Field and Sovereign to Sunrise, Province, Kingdom and Domain. Empire is ECS Level 4 certified and carries Airlay’s 15 year limited warranty.
