Opposites attract at GEP
Carpet tiles from modulyss have been used to bring a contemporary look to the 1920s listed interior of GEP’s London offices.
Using the minituft minimalism of Opposite for the open-plan spaces, Oktra designer, Kristy-Jay Thomsen used three colours to add visual power to the floor: “The client wanted to create a bit of interest, so we decided to create a three-way grey combination from the Opposite palette. I’d seen the look in the collection’s sample book and thought it would be perfect for this project.”
Made from solution-dyed nylon for fade and stain-resistance, Opposite comes in a palette of vaporous blues, soft greys and natural shades such as brown and beige. Ideal for projects needing a simple, functional and minimalist aesthetic; the carpet tile is available in 11 colours. Set against flashes of mustard privacy seating and the minimal aesthetic of pure white workstations, it’s a look that Oktra have maximised.
For the reception, Kristy-Jay has created a striking inset with Dawn, a strikingly patterned carpet tile with a radiating biophilic design. Made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon derived from fishing nets and other waste materials, Dawn celebrates the shifting and muting atmospheres of the galaxy and certainly delivers a high-impact look for the reception of GEP.
Dawn is a nice alternative to using a rug. With Opposite delivering the right contemporary attitude for the right price, it was possible to use the high-texture, high-impact visual look of Dawn to add wow factor to the reception.

Choosing modulyss for the design and value of the manufacturer’s product collections, as well as the quick turnaround it could offer, Kristy-Jay also found the online ‘modulyss designer’ tool valuable in working with the flooring contractors.
I generated my Opposite layout for the workspace using the ‘modulyss designer’ tool online, printed this out and handed it to the guys on-site to help them with setting-out. It proved really useful and I’ll certainly be using it whenever I can.
