​ViscoCarpet

​Role: Project Manager
Date: 2006 - 2008

Based on polyurethane foams and a special textile fabric Bayer MaterialScience has developed a carpet which feels like a forest floor. The new floor covering´s viscoelastic properties not only offer a high level of comfort, but also reduce the strain on joints and limbs. This opens up potential applications for sports, the workplace and physiotherapy – at supermarket checkouts or in gyms, for instance – in addition to those in the home and commercial and public buildings. Kymo GmbH will produce and market the carpet under the trade name PURE MOSS. (taken from a Bayer press release)

​We started 2006 working on this idea together with Mr. Klünter a German interior designer. He is a very creative person I highly recommend to meet him one day. It took us several trials to define the right mixture between textile and polyurethane layers. If you do it right you have a magic feeling. Very comfortable. During our journey we met KYMO carpets which brought the project on a higher level. This is also a great team of young inspiring people. Today they produce this product under license. I wish them great success. Patent number: EP20080017612
