Designed, manufactured and stocked in the UK, Tessera Struktur 1 is the latest addition to Forbo Flooring Systems’ well-established carpet tile portfolio.
Featuring a flat weave texture, thanks to its microtuft construction, the pure aesthetic of Tessera Struktur 1 is inspired by the growing trend for Scandinavian design. The collection will help to create a balanced ambiance within many interior spaces.
Brand new to Forbo, the microtuft construction of Tessera Struktur 1 not only provides a subtle and compact aesthetic, but it is also durable. The collection is ideal for any environment that is subjected to heavy traffic, including those in the office, higher education, retail, leisure and hospitality sectors.
The new collection is available in 18 colourways, comprising a host of neutral tones such as greys and beiges, as well as muted shades of green, yellow, orange and red to allow the creation of softer and warmer spaces.
Chris Rand, Senior Marketing Executive at Forbo Flooring Systems, commented: “The simple and stripped back style of Scandinavian design is continuing to influence architecture and interior design, and it is a trend that is growing in popularity because of the calming spaces that it is able to create.
“Every so often we need to pause, reflect and take a moment to focus on what is really important – and that is the design idea behind Struktur 1.
“Thanks to its microtuft construction, the carpet tile has a unique look and feel, where sometimes less is more. With a 17 dB acoustic value for reduced noise transmission, Tessera Struktur 1 can help architects and interior designers to achieve their vision of creating sophisticated and minimalist environments.
“Its simplicity allows ease of combining with other furnishings and the carpet tile can even be installed alongside our Allura Flex LVT, using the same tackifier, and Allura Ease adhesive free vinyl tiles without the need for transition strips, to create integrated flooring schemes.”
In the construction of the carpet tiles, 100% solution dyed polyamide 6 is used for Class 33 durability and colour fastness. What’s more, all Tessera tufted carpet tiles are manufactured using 100% renewable energy and Struktur 1 contains 65% recycled content by weight. It also meets the Ska rating criteria for M12 soft floor coverings in office, retail and higher education schemes.
