The UK’s market
leader in luxury vinyl flooring Karndean Designflooring is introducing two new
geometric designs inspired by traditional Moroccan and medieval Spanish
architecture.
The eye-catching new
patterned tiles, Casablanca and Marrakesh, will be joining Karndean’s
Kaleidoscope range.
These latest
introductions have been inspired by the artistic techniques of traditional
Moroccan architecture, brought to the Iberian Peninsula during the 8th Century.
One creative design,
available in two subtle yet striking colourways, offers a modern interpretation
of these iconic patterns with a non-uniform, patchwork arrangement that
incorporates a stylish combination of geometric forms, curves and crests.
Casablanca shows off
this quirky design in a stylish monochrome palette of grey shades to create a
contemporary statement while Marrakesh uses a mix of natural earthy colour
tones for a warmer, more playful look.
Ideal for a wide
range of commercial spaces, such as restaurants and bars, hotels or offices,
the two new designs bring an eclectic style to contemporary interiors,
effortlessly introducing character and interest.
Designers can
combine the on-trend grey shades of Casablanca with a complementary shade of
wood or stone flooring, together with deep-toned walls and fittings for a
modern take on monochromatic design.
Marrakesh looks
stunning paired with rich warm wood tones, natural textures and terracotta
shades, such as Dulux’s colour of the year Spiced Honey. In offices with a
resimercial design, the warmth of Marrakesh’s earthy colour tones is an ideal
choice to create an interior scheme full of rustic charm.
Fleur Carson,
commercial sales director at Karndean Designflooring said, “We are delighted to
bring these two creative designs to the market. Our designers were inspired by
medieval Spanish architecture, such as the Alhambra Palace in Grenada, and have
designed a contemporary interpretation of these Moorish patterns, available in
two beautiful colourways.
“Ideal for
commercial spaces from hotels to pubs and workplaces, Casablanca and Marrakesh
offer a statement design that creates depth and character to a design when laid
as a walkway to help wayfinding, or as a statement ‘rug effect’ or zoning
within a larger space.”
The new designs are
offered as large 18 x 24” rectangular tiles, with a micro-bevel, 0.55mm wear
layer, 2.5mm thickness and enhanced R10 slip resistance ratings. Casablanca and
Marrakesh can be seamlessly laid alongside Opus stone or wood flooring.
