Associated Weavers - iSense Collection. Associated Weavers have done it again. A product that is set to become one of the most memorable brands in the carpet world. Why? Because, quite simply, it has a remarkable memory.

The unique ultra-soft polyamide yarn has been developed at the manufacturing plant in Belgium to bounce back to its original state after heavy things like table legs have been resting on it. It's iSense. It makes a lot of sense to remember its promises.
