FROM CONCEPT
TO CARPET
No matter where you take your inspiration from – be it the
intricacies of fractal patterns found in natural stone or the
organic shapes of foliage, stark urban graphics, geometrics
or ethnic motifs – MONN can translate it into a beautifully
crafted, quality carpet.
The experienced MONN design team works closely with you
to develop your creative concept into a full-fledged carpet
design that seamlessly marries floor finish with architectural
interiors. MONN’s Axminster design and weaving technology
allow us to create perfect pattern repeats as well as single
infinite designs with incredible precision and detail, down
to a single tuft.
The MONN in-house yarn dyeing plant allows you to select
a palette of colours from the spectrum of more than 600
standard colours, which are then specifically dyed for your
individual project. We can also perfectly match custom
hues to suit your interior scheme.
Once the design has been finalised, MONN prepares a Kibby
carpet sample (available in 210 mm x 297 mm, 297 mm x
420 mm or 450 mm x 450 mm), which accurately render
how colour and design combinations play out within the
carpet. Upon approval, your carpet goes into production
at our state-of-the-art mill in Harrismith.
