SENIOR DESIGNER AT BRINTONS CARPETS SINGAPORE
Brintons Carpets, the 230-yearold English heritage carpet brand, supplies all of Her Majesty’s carpet and rug requirements, and has long been the benchmark of luxury carpets. We meet Sarbajit Guha, senior designer at Brintons Carpets Singapore, to talk about the brand’s history and future in the local market.
The foundation for Brintons was laid by its 230-year-old history and the creation of the “Brintons’ blend” in the 1950s, a combination of 80 per cent British wool and 20 per cent nylon, that has become the global standard for Axminster carpets around the world. As a design-focused company, Brintons offers unique, modern and bespoke designs to create bespoke creations that truly reflect the identity of the commissioning client. The collections include hand-painted designs, artworks and sketches from 1790 to the present day, and designers can be inspired by its history.
For 2018, we are seeing warm neutrals, dark blues, purple and charcoal greys paired with bright colours. Rich, warm and earthy tones, set with brighter and fresher colours, are a growing trend.
The Katagami and Hand Painted Sketches design collections have been incredibly popular. Inspired by original textile design papers from Brintons’ archives – one of the largest commercial design archives and historical pattern libraries in the industry – the designs have been used to inspire the floors in some of the most prestigious venues across Asia, including the Istana and Terminal 4 of Changi Airport in Singapore.
