This flooring supplement focuses a down-lightei on the manufacturers. We have singled out a coterie of refreshingly creative businesses, and explore how and why they make their flooring. And we discover what type works well for what sort of commercial environment. While Swedish business Bolon supplies its woven vinyl flooring to hotels and offices, Ceadogan in Ireland makes bespoke woollen rugs for a Dublin football club and private clients. Both companies have the tools to allow clients to create their own designs, though Ceadogan also commissions external designers, including fashion designer Helen Cody, textile designer Claire-Anne O'Brien, visual artist Patricia Murphy, and ceramicist Andrew Ludick.
