Wall To Wall
Established & Sons Limited, 2009

Established & Sons Limited will house an innovative installation of oiled oak herringbone parquet brick flooring. Taking a time-honoured floor type, Alkalay & Mer have developed the traditional finish by staining the individual bricks from a pallet of a5 different colours. By taking an everyday product and twisting the core element of it they have developed a very characteristic mosaic design.
They have investigated the connection between flooring and textiles with their design comparable to a tightly woven knitted garment. By developing the notion of a textile rug being an intrinsic partner with flooring materials, the designers have combined two conventional surfaces, to create a visually dynamic finish reminiscent of traditional textile patterns used worldwide.
