CREATIVITY & DESIGN
Since its inception in the 1960's, Couristan's Contract Custom Carpeting Division has been responsible for the development of brilliant, innovative floorcovering concepts for prestige hospitality projects throughout the world. From the moment we receive an inquiry, the choice of specifying Couristan becomes obvious. The commitment of resources that we believe to be necessary for us to respond to any individual project is considerable and reflects the importance we place on selecting the correct design and technical solution at the earliest stages.

Initial meetings between our designers, technical experts, senior management and members of our quality assurance team, ensure that all issues of color placement, raw material selection, tactile and visual aesthetics are considered and resolved. Once a design concept has been established by the client, our skilled teams of experienced designers, conversant with the latest in computer-aided design technology, are able to turn our clients' most creative concepts into visual realities.

Providing significant benefits to the client, our advanced computer-aided design technology, creatively
demonstrates our commitment to the highest quality and personalized style. With this technology, clients are able to look at scaled versions of multiple design repeats in full-color. This allows for visual imperfection, that might not be perceived from a single repeat, to be assessed and resolved before a single yarn is woven. Working hand-in-hand with our designers, clients may respond immediately to any changes with computerized printouts of the design.

A hand sample of the design is then presented to the client, along with poms of all the colored yarns. When the design and colors are accepted, the sample is signed off by the client, cut in half, with one section retained by the client, the other by Couristan, for a reference sample prior to full-scale production.

As one of the first companies in the world to recognize and develop the potential of computer-aided design and manufacture for carpet weaving, Couristan takes great pride in providing interior designers and architects with a facility for transforming their most creative concepts into beautiful and practical realities at commercially viable costs.
