Flor by Heuga

I remember when I was in college and moved into my first appartment. I did not have money for the carpets I wanted so I bought left over carpets and mixed them together to get my own designs on the floor. Little did I know that it would be high fashion today.



So see how beautifull these look. And you can make your own design, talking about exclusive!!! Check them out at: florbyheuga.nl, the site can be viewed in most european languages.



And the best thing I like about the company:

All our European carpet tile manufacturing facilities run on electricity generated from 100% renewable energy resources, including solar power, wind power, tidal and hydroelectric power.
67% reduction in the volume of waste sent to landfill since 1996
Water intake in manufacturing is down 72% since 1996
Total energy use down by 44% since 1996
Absolute reduction of emissions by 34% since 1996
Absolute net change in emissions is down 71% from Baseline
28% of global energy is from renewable sources
24% of total raw materials are recycled or bio-based materials
Cumulative avoided waste costs totalling $405 million since 1994
