UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD - BREAK OUT AREA RUG


I was recently approached to create a custom made rug to be fitted into this break out area for students at University of Huddersfield , Canal Side West Campus, West Yorkshire, UK.

The stone floor in this converted mill was listed and therefore could not be damaged or any adhesives used.

The area needed to be templated to allow us to have a physical record of the area as no accurate plans existed of the seating and podium.

Each colour was custom dyed to match a set of colours that was chosen for the laminate treatments to be used in the interior.

The start of the semi circular rug being made in the studio in Mirfield.
 
 

The fitted rug was made slightly oversized to allow for it to be fitted around the seating area.

The front leading edges were "Taped and Turned" and slightly chamfered to prevent them being a trip hazard in this high traffic reception area. 
 
 
 

The finished rug echoed the newly fitted circular lighting as well as the new interior colour scheme.
