Lotte World Tower — Korea's tallest landmark chose this carpet tile

Lotte World Tower is the Korean headquarters of Lotte Group and the tallest building in the country — a mixed-use landmark that includes the Signiel hotel and an observation deck. Premium carpet tile suited to a high-rise office environment was applied to the building’s office floors, supplied and installed by Tornex.

The Milliken Nordic Stories collection used at the time is designed with inspiration from the natural landscapes and cultures of the northern hemisphere, its varied patterns and color combinations adding a refined expression to the broad office floor. The cushion backing absorbs interior noise and reduces walking fatigue, creating an environment suited to a high-rise workplace where many people come and go.

Carpet tile is effective at reducing footstep and chair-movement noise across a large office floor. In high-rise offices wrapped in glass curtain walls, where reflected noise easily arises, the carpet's role as a floor-level sound absorber is all the more important. As a company specializing in interior acoustic solutions, Tornex proposes flooring materials that account for the sound-absorption environment of large offices.

Tornex now supplies ANKER carpet in Korea in place of Milliken. The luxurious textile texture of Nordic Stories and its office- and lounge-friendly tones carry over to ANKER's SURF and LUMINOUS collections. With their refined textures and calm colors, the two collections can still realize a premium office environment like Lotte World Tower today.
