The Future of Carpet Technology: Trends and Innovations

Today, with a single click you can start a fire. With the push of a button, nuclear strikes can be executed. Just by revving on the tractors’ engine, acres of land came to be plowed within hours. This is the magic of the 21st century. Technological advancements have led us to this age where we can finish tasks in seconds that once took days. Everything high-tech exists today, however, operations for every industry are being done from before. It was the Stone Age when our ancestors made tools and weapons out of stone. As time flew, stones were replaced with bronze, and eventually came the Iron Age. Every age of time has been through evolution. Every industry in existence has been through evolution.

The industry of decor is one of the oldest ones to exist. It was the early Turkish empire that led the world to explore this realm of interiors. The carpets that once were handcrafted by nomads as a leisure were soon being made in looms. As the trend of carpeting evolved and reached the world, it didn’t take much time to explore other techniques for crafting carpets. The Mughals, known for their interest in and knowledge of architecture and art were the torchbearers of the trend of carpet-making in India. In no time after the British colonized us, technological advancements from the west took over our country along with the art of hand-making carpets.

The carpet technology evolution-
Carpets have come a long way. Earlier carpets were mere floor coverings. Historically carpets were made using natural fibers with traditional handmade techniques, providing elegance and warmth to many interiors. The Industrial Revolution has led to easy access and variety in design. One hindrance people face with machine-made carpets is that everyone has the same product inherent space.

Sustainable Manufacturing-

From the start of the industrial phase, the environment has suffered a lot from pollution. To counter this, factories have set up technologically advanced ways, making sure to maintain sustainability.  In our factory at Obeetee Carpets, we have a full-fledged wastewater management system. The water used to wash, tie, and dye the carpets is treated, made free of chemicals, and then dispersed into the neighboring fields for irrigation.  We also recycle plastic bottles to make polyester fiber, further used to make rugs. Our carbon footprint has significantly reduced as a dominant portion of our energy needs are fulfilled by solar power.

Upgrade in Carpet technology-

However the days of the good old-school, handmade carpets will always be in trend, technology is taking over. With automatic home cleaning devices, carpets have also evolved. As everything is voice-controlled these days, there are carpets in the market with automatic rolling in and out technology. With just a single command, your carpet will roll out and set itself on the floor. Another feature of carpets is the centralized heating. During the winter months, the floor tends to get cold. Carpets, along with their primary quality of providing comfort, provide warmth underfoot. The heating technology embedded in the rug increases the rug's temperature and also heats the floor.

We at Obeetee Carpets have been in the rug-making business for the past century. Along with technological upgrades, we have seen a major shift in the design preferences of the customers. Every decade, a new trend takes over. Earlier, carpets with bold floral patterns and intricate Persian designs were used to adorn the homes. Today people prefer minimalist-themed interiors.  Carpets with light patterns, self-patterns, and other abstract designs can be seen in many homes of the 21st century. To keep up with the industry trends, we have incorporated technology in every of our operations apart from the rug making. We actively research and come up with carpet designs preferred by the modern customer. Our sustainability activities are being run by technology. One thing that we have kept constant is the art of hand-making rugs. We have a family of over 250000 weavers who have been crafting carpets at our house for generations.
