IKON MAKES ANYTHING POSSIBLE.
Whether it’s a way finding project, a bespoke logo, or an intricate design once only achievable through hand tufting, Ikon is redefining carpet and flooring design. Combining cutting-edge precision dye injection technology with your choice of matte or gloss finishes and premium materials, Ikon makes previously unattainable designs both accessible and budget-friendly.
This innovative "print" method offers unparalleled flexibility for creating vibrant, detailed visuals that command attention—bringing bold creativity to commercial spaces in ways not always seen in Australia.
At Wautier Carpets, we’re proud to introduce this game-changing technology to elevate your design possibilities.
Recreated antique floorboards with way finding overlays at Paleis Het Loo
PALACE CASE STUDY:
We love to witness the power of print, when it really earns it’s seat at the table - like this case study of the Paleis Het Loo, former home to the Dutch Royal family.
Pictured above is the delicate art of recreating the antique flooring by Spacial design firm Kossmanndejong. The team photographed and developed an “invisible” runner that is almost indistinguishable from the original floors of the palace.
Sander Van Der Bosch photographed (below) the original floors capturing every wood grain and carpet detail perfectly replicating what lay beneath with printed carpet. This maintained the rooms’ immersive qualities and enabling the public to walk on what looked like the original antique carpets and floors while not disturbing the actual floors beneath.
COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS
Printed carpet, like our Ikon collection, is a game-changer for commercial spaces because it allows for intricate, vibrant designs previously only achievable through hand-tufting.
Ikon delivers unparalleled creative freedom, resilience, and clarity. It’s available in durable finishes to handle high-traffic areas, making it ideal for hospitality, retail, and corporate settings. With limitless design possibilities, printed carpet transforms spaces into memorable, functional works of art.
See some excellent examples utilising Ikon below.
THE WAUTIER DIFFERENCE
Unlike the most commonly seen printed carpets which generally are created in Matte finish, at Wautier we also offer a lustred, shiny substrate we call Ikon Gloss in 1100and 1600grams/sqm. These offer a luxuriously plush and shiny finish, a quality that is suitable for both high end commercial and residential applications.
