Flat is dead
Tisca has unveiled the Carlton trend
collection, consisting of harmonised seat
cover fabrics, carpets and curtains under
the motto ‘Flat is dead’.
The collection is all about 3D structures,
reliefs, low-high textures, volume in the
surfaces, and textiles inspired by deep
buttoned seat cushions. All these structures
are finished in elegant and dark colours,
mixed with whisky shades and deep
red hues.
This holistic collection reflects the latest
global trends in terms of patterns, textures,
materials and colour combinations and is intended to inspire
designers, specifiers, airlines and OEMs alike. Tisca designs,
develops and manufactures all these product groups under
one roof in Switzerland without subcontracting to other
companies, making everything faster, easier, more reliable
and less expensive for customers.
COLOURED BY NATURE
Another flooring product recently introduced by Tisca
is the Tiara Coloured by Nature carpet collection.
These carpets are produced with 100% undyed wool,
coloured by mother nature only. The collection
consists of six colours, achieved by mixing wool from
different sheep breeds. No chemical dyes are used,
making these carpets a natural and sustainable
choice. The carpets have a thick and luxurious pile,
an intriguing texture, and have excellent soundabsorbing
and stain-resistant properties.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Aside from inflight catering, the galley area is important
as it creates the first impression of the aircraft for
passengers coming onboard, with the floor being one
of the features they see first. Lonseal’s Loncompass
flooring is designed to complement contemporary galley
designs, with an interesting option being the Denim
colour, with a pearlescent tone that changes colour
as the passengers’ viewing angle changes.
The multi-layer construction and resilient finish of
Loncompass protects the product’s colour and pattern
fidelity in high-traffic galley areas to ensure the flooring
doesn’t become dull and worn-down in appearance.
