Heritage carpet manufacturer Brintons has launched Studio Play, a new commercial carpet collection engineered for the demands of high-traffic contract environments. Developed through a series of in-house creative workshops, the collection brings an expressive, artisan aesthetic to a specification-grade product built for hospitality, retail, and corporate interiors.
Jodie Hatton, Design Manager at Brintons, notes, “We have an incredibly experienced design team, and with that experience comes deep knowledge of our craft. Studio Play gives us the opportunity to pause, experiment and work without pressure. It’s been rewarding to see the team embrace that freedom and turn it into a collection that feels both expressive and relevant.”
Series One: Acrylic Ink Exploration
For Series One, the team was invited to play with fluid acrylic inks. The session was intentionally led without a brief, in order to create an open environment where the team was able to experiment, layer and respond instinctively without pressure or intimidation. The result was a body of expressive, unexpected work rich in depth, gesture and atmosphere.
Series Two: Gelli Printing
In autumn 2026, Studio Play will continue with Gelli printing; a process that embraces texture, layering, and surprise. As the series evolves, each workshop will build on the same philosophy as Series One: create first, design later.
Commercial carpets manufactured for unparalleled performance
Engineered from a durable 80% wool and 20% nylon yarn blend, Studio Play combines bold expression with commercial-grade performance. This premium composition ensures exceptional durability, stain resistance, and longevity, essential qualities for high-traffic hospitality and commercial environments, while maintaining the natural beauty and comfort of wool.
Characterised by layered patterns, rich textures and a fusion of heritage and contemporary designs, Studio Play offers an elevated, artistic appeal for a range of commercial interiors, where creating an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication is paramount.
Series One of the Studio Play collection is available now through Brintons’ global network of dealers and design professionals. For more information, visit www.brintons.net
