STONEAGE CARPET

TILES SPECIFIED FOR

LONDON OFFICE

ALSAN supplied its Stoneage carpet tile collection for the
BLondon office of Octopus and Kraken Energy, reportedly
providing a flooring solution intended to meet corporate branding
requirements and sustainability criteria.
The project required a solution-dyed carpet tile capable of
accurately reflecting the client’s colour palette while supporting
durability and environmental performance within a commercial
office setting.
Working with the client’s design team, Balsan supplied a
selection of Stoneage colourways to align with Octopus and
Kraken Energy’s corporate identity. Consistency of colour and long-
term appearance retention were central considerations, alongside
performance under daily foot traffic.
Stoneage was specified as a solution-dyed product to support
colourfastness and resistance to wear in high-use areas.
Sustainability was a key factor in the product selection. Balsan’s
Stoneage collection is manufactured using 100% regenerated
Econyl yarn, produced from post-consumer and post-industrial
waste materials such as abandoned fishing nets and industrial
plastics. This approach reduces reliance on virgin raw materials
and supports circular economy principles by diverting waste from
landfill. The yarn used in the collection is fully recyclable and can be
regenerated at the end of the product’s lifecycle.
Balsan also incorporates solution-dyed fibre technology within
the Stoneage range. ‘Compared with conventional dyeing methods, Balsan supplied its Stoneage carpet tile collection
this process reduces water and energy consumption during
