What does it mean to build in the 21st century?
For OBJECT CARPET, it means responsibly shaping the transformation – while conserving resources and focusing on the future. In 2025, the company is presenting this aspiration on an international stage: with a sustainable flooring solution in the German Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice.
The featured carpet NYLTECC 700 – made from ECONYL® yarn – embodies recycled design that combines aesthetics with environmental performance.
With its appearance at the German Pavilion – which poses urgent questions about the future of building under the title “Stresstest” – OBJECT CARPET is making a clear statement: for design that goes beyond aesthetics – and actively contributes to change. The pavilion – curated by Nicola Borgmann, Elisabeth Endres, Gabriele G. Kiefer and Daniele Santucci – features the NYLTECC 700 flooring. The ECONYL® yarn used in the carpet is derived from recycled polyamide, which includes production waste and discarded fishing nets.

Thanks to its long-standing partnership with the Italian company Aquafil, which is setting new standards in circular material use with ECONYL®, OBJECT CARPET can significantly reduce the CO₂ footprint of its products – all without using new fossil resources.
A circular principle for the challenges of tomorrow
For OBJECT CARPET, sustainable building doesn’t start with the product – it starts with the principle. With its DUO technology, which was developed in-house over ten years, the company demonstrates how carpet solutions can become part of a true circular economy. The technology uses just two single-origin materials – polyamide and polyester – which can be easily separated and recycled at the end of their life cycle. No water or gas is needed. And up to 95% less energy is used. This is a milestone on the way to a building culture that protects resources – and takes responsibility.
For architecture with a vision. And a world with a future.
With NYLTECC 700 and DUO technology, OBJECT CARPET shows a cutting-edge interplay between design, responsibility and innovation – for spaces that can do more, that are durable, resource-efficient and circular. For architecture that doesn’t just inspire but also takes responsibility – developed for the challenges of tomorrow.
