A part of the Conscious Collection, Pave, Inkwell, Noragi Stripe, and Assemblage (shown here) emerge at a critical juncture amidst the evolving needs of the architecture and design community, addressing both concerns of environmental sustainability and mental well-being. Offering the appearance of handmade craftsmanship, the new wallcoverings embrace the authentically imperfect moments of human nature while delivering on Type II performance and environmental stewardship.
Amidst an industry abundance of vinyl and “forever chemicals,” Carnegie’s vinyl-alternative wallcoverings are 100% PVC-free, finish-free, and PFAS-free, continuing Carnegie’s commitment to setting a new standard for environmentally conscious design. Greenpeace states that PVC, commonly known as vinyl, is the single most environmentally damaging of all plastics on the planet. Carnegie is committed to authentic sustainability, developing 100% PVC-free products with the understanding that there is no such thing as "sustainable vinyl" due to the irreconcilable toxicity of the chemistry used in its manufacturing, specifically the use of the vinyl chloride monomer.
“Our new vinyl-alternative wallcoverings represent Carnegie's 70+ year dedication to sustainable innovation and timeless design,” said Mary Holt, Chief Design Strategist at Carnegie. “As a forever PVC-free company, Carnegie seeks to empower designers to create spaces that promote wellbeing and environmental stewardship, and each product within this collection embodies Carnegie's seven-decade-long commitment to people and the planet.”
