Since 2003, eco-minded architects and interior designers requested more than 279,000 realistic, recyclable, paper Tricycle prints in place of carpet samples.

This translates to more than 69,000 gallons of oil conserved and 418,000 pounds of carpet that will never be landfilled — because it was never manufactured in the first place.

Tens of thousands more Tricycle print samples were used by product development teams, during the design and prototyping of new patterns and colorways.

Because our mission is more than to replace unnecessary samples, we have also created dynamic web sites that enable manufacturers to serve the design process of architects and interior designers. Any designer with web access can explore pattern and color options at the click of a button, without generating unnecessary design waste. During these two years, designers used our sites to create more than 245,000 custom color carpets and view more than 1.1 million room scenes with their carpets installed.

Today, Tricycle is serving not only the commercial and hospitality sectors of the carpet industry, but fabric, wallcovering, and every interiors surface.
