Award-winning i2™ Product Sets a New Standard for Non-directional Modular
Floorcoverings
Chicago, IL –Interface Flooring Systems’ Biomorph won the Gold
Award in the modular carpet category of the 2003 Best of NeoCon® Awards,
sponsored annually by Contract magazine, The International Interior Design
Association (IIDA) and Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc.
“With its bold colors and the abstract application of accents, Biomorph is
perhaps the best illustration of the design direction of our entire i2
collection,” explained Interface product designer David Oakey, celebrating his
24th Best of NeoCon award. “We’re setting a new course for modular
floorcoverings with dynamic patterns – and adding a layer of visual complexity
by combining those bold colors and patterns in a way we never have before in
the design of modular carpet.”
Oakey likened the color accents in Biomorph to the unintentional splatter of
color on an artist’s palette. “Biomorph’s pattern is amorphous, changing in
size and shape from module to module,” said Oakey.
Biomorph is one of 23 new i2 products introduced by Interface Flooring Systems
at NeoCon. The i2 collection found its genesis in Oakey’s exploration of
biomimicry, or the idea that products can and should mimic nature in terms of
aesthetics and functionality. That gave rise to Entropy®, the industry’s first
non-directional pattern, which was launched in 2000 and quickly became
the company’s top-selling product.
Based in LaGrange, Georgia, Interface Flooring Systems is the pioneer of
modular carpet in the United States. Interface Flooring Systems is a division
of Interface, Inc.
