‘Metaverse’ is a style that fuses luxury and technology, with light aesthetics inspired by minimalism. Reflective surfaces add a sense of multiple dimensions in this contemporary style, while recurring circle and sphere motifs symbolise unity, the connection of all things.

New technology is designed to create the feel and look of hand-tufted luxury, but instead made by machines at a fraction of the cost and time of handmade carpets. The thinking behind this is to make premium quality tufted carpets more affordable if carpet manufacturers adopt this technology.

It is anticipated that many carpet designs for the year 2024 will be influenced by ecology and nature.
