Interface, a worldwide
commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, introduced its
new global luxury vinyl tile (LVT) collection, Native
Fabric, expanding its modular resilient flooring offerings.
Native
Fabric offers a modern take on the timeless grass cloth design in a variety of
shades infused with a woven metallic threading.
The
collection showcases eight unique colours, which can stand alone or pair with
past Interface modular carpet, such as Contemplation
in a multitude of settings, including corporate office, hospitality and
education.
Native
Fabric’s original artwork design conjures the look of traditional cloth made
from woven sea grass strands and thin cotton thread, while also delivering the
performance benefits of Interface LVT. Architects, designers, flooring dealers
and end customers can install Interface’s modular system of LVT and carpet
side-by-side, without transition strips. Interface’s
Sound Choice proprietary backing lowers vertical sound transfer floor to
floor, making it ideal for environments where sound is a key consideration. The
collection features neutral color palettes, including Bluegrass, Flax, Linen,
Mulberry, Seagrass, Straw, Tatami and Twine.
The
collection is designed by Kari Pei, lead product designer at Interface, and was
created to bring the warmth and grace of natural variation back into interiors
in an easy-to-install, modular LVT. The collection marks the first woven LVT
product designed in-house by Interface and is made to emulate depth, movement
and softness.
“Much like
the fine strands of native grasses are woven together to make grass cloth,
Native Fabric’s simplicity serves as an essential texture in modern interiors,
adding contrast to the finishes that define these spaces,” says Pei. “The
design fuses woven-inspired art and deep colorings together through multiple
layers of etchings and metallic touches, modernizing any look and complementing
our modular carpet offerings.”
