Interface, a worldwide
commercial flooring company and global leader in sustainability, introduces a
new carpet tile collection Visual Code and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) product Drawn
Lines.
Visual Code and Drawn Lines take inspiration from technology and
nature. Whether displayed on their own or paired together, the products offer a
colourful, engaging environment for a range of spaces such as corporate
offices, hospitality and education.
“Our product designs stimulate creativity and inspiration in
everyday spaces, while taking positive steps toward a healthier planet,” says
Lisa King, vice president of product innovation and insights.
“Visual Code and Drawn Lines reconnect people through biophilic
attributes and recall influence of the maker movement in hand-crafted design
details. Both collections enhance any space though the products’ modular
capabilities and complementary designs that effortlessly deliver uncomplicated,
cutting-edge flooring to meet a variety of customer needs.”
Visual Code is designed by David Oakey,
product designer exclusive to Interface, and marries the worlds of high-tech
and high-touch. The collection pulls inspiration from images of glitch graphics
and simple textures, which recall traditional woven fabrics and rugs, and is
accentuated by a palette comprised of greys and pops of bright, bold colors.
The global collection seamlessly pairs with a range of Interface
offerings, such as the newly released LVT collection, Drawn Lines, for an
integrated flooring system of hard and soft without the need for transition
strips. It boldly sets a new course for design in corporate offices, education
and multi-family living spaces by stylistically spanning hand-crafted materials
and technological influence.
Visual Code is comprised of patterns that promote a sensory
experience. The collection features:
- Core textures:
Plain Stitch, Stitchery and Stitch Count
- Bold patterns
and accents: Static Lines, Hard Drive and Circuit Board
- Black and
white patterns: Darning, Haptic, Overedge and Decibel
“In a world of AI, VR, robotics and smart everything, we are losing
our ability to have truly organic and creative thinking. Visual Code brings
engagement with the natural world and real, high-touch things back into our
spaces,” says Oakey.
The Visual
Code modular carpet collection is available in 25cm x 1m Skinny Planks ranging
from flat to plush and even a shag style.
Drawn Lines, the latest global LVT
product from Interface, is designed by Kari Pei, Interface’s lead product
designer, and offers a distinct pattern inspired by fractals found in nature.
The collection uses nature’s geometric patterns as a muse to guide layered filament-fine
marks in varying weights and rhythms to create a prismatic geometry in an array
of scales.
Pei designed Drawn Lines using a never-ending pattern, enhanced by a
base of smoky brights, cool and warm neutrals. The geo-woven pattern is
accented by threads of metallic, which add shimmer and depth.
Drawn Lines
is available in 25cm x 1m Skinny Planks and, alongside Interface’s entire LVT
portfolio, features the following attributes:
- Designed with
Sound Choice proprietary backing that is Quiet Mark certified for its
superior noise reduction qualities, offering best-in-class performance for
reduced impact sound and sound transmission.
- Created to
match Interface's Skinny Planks, aligning together with a precise fit,
allowing customers to pair hard and soft products together.
- Constructed with materials and recycling in mind, including a
commitment to deliver Environmental Product Declarations for all hard

Interface’s 15-year commercial warranty.
“I believe this is the gem of our LVT designs, thus far, due to its
pattern, which is unlike anything on the market,” says Pei. “I was inspired by
the beautiful, intricate patterns found in nature. It’s these biophilic design
elements that give the product a clean, modern look that elevates any
environment, from corporate office, to education, to healthcare.”
Visual Code and Drawn Lines, along with Interface’s
complete portfolio of carpet and LVT, are also carbon neutral through its
entire product lifecycle as part of the company’s Carbon Neutral Floors program, at no extra cost to
Interface customers. Customers can now participate in Interface’s Climate Take Back mission to reverse global

neutral programme is verified annually by independent third-party auditors.
