Miliken Rinascita

Milliken’s Rinascita collection of floor covering pairs recycled leather tiles from Spinneybeck with reclaimed and recycled carpet backing. Rinascita—which means revival or rebirth in Italian—is available in two embossed textures, bufalo and castoro, with a hand-rubbed finish. The finished face substrate of the 50cm square tiles is made from post-industrial content from leather manufacturing, and the optional cushion felt backing is made from nylon 6,6 post-consumer carpet for a total of 95% recycled content. Tiles can also be specified unbacked as 3mm material to transition to hard-surface flooring. millikencarpet.com
