Carpet Sustainability and why it matters

Sometimes, the things that make our home pretty are the very things that destroy Mother Earth. Thankfully, this is not the case when it comes to carpets from Shaw Contract since they apply the Cradle to Cradle system and have their carpets made of materials that can be recycled over and over again.

Shaw Contract, a design leader in commercial flooring solutions and surfaces, is pleased to collaborate with our local distribution partner SMJ Furnishing, to organise an exclusive roadshow for Manila’s architect and interior designer community.

Held at the charming WhiteSpace gallery, the event introduces the latest flooring design trends with award-winning collections by Shaw Contract, including Inside Shapes, a US-made product, and Haven, an Asia-made product.

The event also celebrates a decade-long partnership between the two companies. Shaw Contract is a commercial brand under Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathway company, and the world’s largest carpet manufacturer and carpet fibre producer. SMJ Furnishing is one of Philippines’ leading interior fitting suppliers with a strong reputation among the design community. 

“With our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Nantong, China, Shaw Contract has been expanding our product offerings to better service to Asia-based clients, and Philippines is one of our key markets,” shares Mr Jeffrey Loh, Regional Sales Manager, South East Asia, Shaw Contract, “We are confident that SMJ’s strong local network and expertise will continue to help bring service excellence to our clients.”

“It is inspiring to have been a part of the Shaw Contract global family, and a change agent to introduce better, greener design solutions to the Philippines market, and help set the standards for local and regional design and sustainability practices,” says Ms Bebet Sison, Managing Director, SMJ Furnishing.
