At the 74th Berlinale, OBJECT CARPET is presenting a world debut: the red carpet of the Berlinale Palast is the first completely recyclable red carpet, consisting of only two materials. This groundbreaking innovation has a low ecological footprint and helps make the 74th Berlinale sustainable. The red carpet, made in Germany, also scores points in terms of health, as it does not contain any additives. The company OBJECT CARPET has stood for quality, design and innovation since 1972 and is continually setting new standards for responsible carpet design.
