Ulster Carpets created over 75 bespoke carpet designs for Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas in its largest marine project to date. The carpets were designed to complement the ship’s family ethos, with those used in the Overlook Pods being the “perfect example of the design excellence offered by Ulster”. Here, the distinctive and playful carpet designs enhance the atmosphere while the carpets themselves offer the hardwearing and cleaning properties required for a busy hospitality space. “With a place in maritime history, Icon of the Seas is the perfect project to demonstrate the artistic talents of our designers, the attention to detail of our planners, and the high standards of our manufacturing,” said Rachel Guy, marine contract sales director at Ulster Carpets.
