Some materials are used once and then become waste. Others are able to turn the end of their life into a new beginning.

This is the idea behind Econyl®, the yarn developed by Aquafil, an Italian company and one of the world’s leading nylon manufacturers. Aquafil has created a regeneration system capable of transforming waste materials back into high-quality raw material.
È questa l’idea alla base di Econyl®, il filato sviluppato da Aquafil, azienda italiana tra i principali produttori di nylon a livello internazionale, che ha sviluppato un sistema capace di rigenerare materiali di scarto e trasformarli nuovamente in materia prima di alta qualità.

From 15 to 17 September 2026, Radici Carpet will be exhibiting at INDEX Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom’s leading trade event for the interior design, hospitality and fit-out sectors.

A great cinema is one that quietly fades into the background.

When a screening room is designed well, nothing distracts the audience from the story unfolding on the screen. Sound surrounds without overwhelming, light disappears, and every movement becomes almost imperceptible. Together, these elements create the immersive experience that makes cinema unlike any other space.

For years, carpet has been associated with a simple yet deeply rooted idea: a surface that traps dust, mites and allergens. This common misconception has influenced the perception of textile flooring far beyond scientific evidence, often leading to its exclusion from environments where people’s wellbeing is a priority…

When designing hotels, offices, public spaces and hospitality environments, flooring selection is about far more than aesthetics, comfort and durability. Among the requirements that directly influence the quality and compliance of a project is fire reaction performance, a key parameter in ensuring the safety of buildings and the people who use them.

In contemporary hospitality, designing a hotel means creating an experience. Spaces are no longer simply functional settings for welcoming guests, but environments capable of expressing a clear identity and creating an emotional connection with those who experience them.

In a hotel, every surface contributes to the story of the space. Light, textures and materials create a rhythm that guides movement. Flooring becomes part of this silent narrative, influencing how spaces are perceived and experienced by guests.

Materials and surfaces, long selected almost exclusively for their technical performance or visual appeal, are now part of a broader perspective.

“With the new Pigments collection for Radici, I wanted to explore colour as a living gesture, layering and rhythm. The inspiration comes from nature and chromatic matter: signs, overlaps and vibrations become textures capable of capturing a frame, suspending a moment and transforming it into an experience.” – says Marco Piva

In textile flooring, one of the most significant innovations in recent years is solution dyed technology, a manufacturing process that produces highly durable fibers with long-lasting color stability.
