Scott Group Draws Inspiration from High-end Interior Carpets

Scott Group of Grand Rapids, Mich., has introduced its “Bespoke Collection” of New Zealand wool carpets for business jet cabins. Inspired by the tailored textures trending in commercial and residential property interiors, the 15 new hand-tufted designs feature classic tweeds, pinstripes, plaids and subtle patterns. Some designs incorporate mulberry silk. “You get a timeless appearance, and that’s what designers are looking for: understated elegance,” said marketing director Jennifer Kirchgessner.

Scott supplies carpeting to both OEMs and for aftermarket refurbishments, and Kirchgessner said the company can provide specific bespoke designs under exclusive agreements with manufacturers. Meanwhile, the “pick-it-and-go” availability of the collection’s designs and their price will add to its appeal in the aftermarket, she said. This month Scott plans to introduce a “hybrid” hand/machine-made carpet collection that “caters directly to refurbishments,” she added.
