International Architecture Exhibition 2025: OBJECT CARPET in the German Pavilion – for architecture designed to last.

For architecture designed to last.

What does it mean to build in the 21st century? For us at OBJECT CARPET, the answer is clear: It’s not just about creating new spaces – it’s also about taking responsibility. Responsibility for materials. For resources. For the generations to come.

In 2025, we are taking this aspirational idea and showcasing it on the international stage: As part of the German Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice – an arena where the future is reimagined and reshaped – OBJECT CARPET is joining other manufacturers to demonstrate how materials, ideas, and principles can be reinterpreted to steer building in a new direction. Guided by curators Nicola Borgmann, Elisabeth Endres, Gabriele G. Kiefer, and Daniele Santucci, the pavilion has been transformed into a space for fresh perspectives. Under the title “Stress Test,” it focuses its exhibition on some of the pressing questions of our time: How resilient is our building culture? What needs to change? And what can we do to make a difference together?

Our answer is this: with a floor that takes a stance.

NYLTECC 700, the carpet we chose for the pavilion, is made of ECONYL® – a yarn produced from old fishing nets, fabric remnants, and industrial waste. Together with our longstanding partner Aquafil, we are putting our faith in a material that not only looks impressive, but also has impressive environmental credentials.

But we are thinking beyond this too.
After all, as far as we’re concerned, sustainable building doesn’t start with the product – it starts with the principle.

With the DUO technology, which we developed ourselves, we have spent over ten years creating a system where carpet solutions are designed on the basis of a genuinely circular economy. Just two single-origin materials are used – polyamide and polyester – and they can be easily separated and recycled at the end of their life cycle. This is done without using any water or gas – and using up to 95% less energy.

For us, this isn’t just a feature. It’s a statement.
We want to show that design can be more. More than just looking good. More than just following trends. It can be a chance to embrace responsibility. To be part of the solution. To make change happen.

A stress test at the German Pavilion

The “Stress Test” exhibition transforms the future reality of urban climates into something physically tangible and psychologically palpable, and gives an impressive demonstration of how architecture and landscape design not only have the ability to create climate-compatible cities, but have a duty to do so too. Visitors can discover for themselves what extreme urban heat feels like, learn about the complex connections between global warming and our built environment, and the impact it has on it. At the same time, the exhibition offers refreshing and inspiring spaces where tangible solutions are brought to the fore – approaches that no longer view architecture, landscape design, and urban planning as purely functional disciplines, but as integral elements in a holistic, climate-resilient system.

Among the centuries-old facades and shimmering light that Venice is famous for, we once again show what the real issue is here: not just what is possible tomorrow, but what we can keep and carry with us into the future.

For architecture that doesn’t crumble, but carries.
For a world that doesn’t consume, but conserves.
