Come with me to the never-ending horizons of Africa. Join me in a hot air balloon, invented by the
Montgolfier brothers in the 18th Century. How much more beautiful and inspiring can life get than
to fly in the sky like a bird, no noise, no interruptions, just clear skies and horizons.
This is exactly how the inspiration for the Montgolfier Collection came to me, being on top of the
world, looking down and translating the sheer beauty of the African continent into six textile floor-
ing designs. Imagine the orange, red and brown colors of the dry savannah. Picture the roaring
blue salt lake with white foam tops; the black shades from burnt forests and the metallic nuances
from a glittering gold mine. Designed in multi layers with a multi level loop texture creating an
abstract interpretation of the African landscapes, enhanced by metallic yarns creating a unique
light reflection and finished to detail with custom colors matched to samples from nature curated
on my African trip.
Since the Montgolfier is all about nature and applauding the beauty of this world, no sacrifice was
made. It was only normal that the regenerated ECONYL® yarns were selected to create this tribute
to a continent that is at the core of our human history.
Solitude. Serenity. Inspiration.
With love,

We support DIFFA. Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS is one of
the largest supporters of direct care for people living with HIV/AIDS and
preventive education for those at risk. Merging care and commerce, sup-
porters of DIFFA come from all fields of fine design and the visual arts.
DIFFA was founded in 1984 and the success of DIFFA's fundraising is the
result of the imagination and generosity of the design industries and the
volunteers who support it. As part of DIFFA's specify with care program, ege donates 1% of our
sales in the USA to the Foundation. Supporting and assisting charitable projects lies deep in our
hearts as we truly care to an extent that goes beyond the ordinary. We hope that you too will em-
brace this opportunity to specify with care.

The ege name is derived from the company founder Mads Eg Damgaard. In Danish, "eg" means
"oak" and just like an old oak tree we have strong roots and a big interest in the environment. We
strive for a greener future in everything we do. To that end, we continuously seek to innovate our
products and processes. We recycle used water bottles by turning them
into our patented Ecotrust felt backing for tiles. For the same reason we
use ECONYL® yarns regenerated from used fishing nets that are reborn
as strong and hardwearing yarns for textile floorings. We strive to be a
role model in the textile flooring industry – not by using buzzwords but
by acting.
