Miami, FL- Leveraging a rich history of product design and innovation
and the company's role as the pioneer of non-directional modular flooring,
Interface Flooring Systems is making its official debut into the hospitality
market at the HDBoutique Expo & Conference. The company is demonstrating the
features and benefits of the i2 collection of products in hospitality
environments.
"We know hospitality environments need floorcovering options that offer
flexibility and value. The i2 collection installs with less waste, requires no
attic stock for refurbishment, and multiple dye-lots can be used in any
installation," said John Wells, president of Interface Flooring Systems.
"That's why we believe the i2 collection of products is a great option for
hotels, restaurants and other hospitality environments."
According to David Oakey, Interface's product designer, the i2 collection is
pushing the limits in both style and application of modular floorcoverings. 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 EntropyŽ, the industry's first non-directional
pattern, which was launched in 2000 and quickly became the company's
top-selling product.
"With the i2 collection, we're setting a new direction for modular
floorcoverings with dynamic patterns, bold colors and unusual combinations of
colors and patterns that have never before been used in the design of these
products," explained Oakey. "We believe this new design direction will
revolutionize floorcovering applications in the hospitality market."
Featured i2 products at HDBoutique include:
Entropy - It catapulted into the contract market three years ago and
inspired a whole new design trend in contract finishes: non-directional. Now,
Entropy has expanded to 48 colorways.
Latitude - Imagine a rustic lodge deep in the jungle, a casual
condominium on the beach at the edge of a lush, overgrown garden, or even a
luxury hotel in a tropical paradise. That's the Latitude collection. Both
Latitude patterns - Boardwalk and Cabana - feature provocative color
combinations and bold patterns.
Refraction - The first i2 cutpile style, Refractions links lines and
stripes that turn and bend through geometric shapes to create bands of texture.
A whimsical accent color is threaded sporadically into the pattern.
Modernism & Cubism - Art Deco-inspired Cubism features overlapping
geometric shapes and three different pile heights to create texture and
pattern. The more subtle Modernism transposes shapes and shades to form
understated geometric patterns.
Home - A nubby loop texture product, Home features arbitrary flecks of
contrasting color applied against a neutral background. Originally designed for
residential use such as condominiums, rental properties and assisted living,
Home also has appeal in executive offices and other areas in the corporate
environment where a comfortable, domestic design scheme is desired.
See these products and more at the Interface Flooring Systems' booth # 720.
