Tarkett, a global leader in innovative and sustainable flooring solutions, is refreshing its Contour LVT offerings with two new design collections: Collaborative and Mindful Maker.
Like most Contour abstract designs, the collections are manufactured with the company’s high-definition digital printing capabilities, affording crisper visual details, longer pattern repeats and ample opportunities to tailor designs with a customer’s own signature touches.
Introduced at Design Days in June, Collaborative emerged from a collective mark-making process led by Tarkett’s vice president of design for its commercial business, Omoleye Simmons.
The collection's mix of patterns provides spaces with agility to meet changing demands and embrace neurodiverse work styles, offering solutions for busy, collaborative areas as well as quiet, heads-down zones. In addition to LVT, the collection features corresponding soft-surface options that will be available to the market late October.
Inspired by humans’ fundamental need to create, the Mindful Maker collection consists of three textural patterns that blend traditional crafting with our modern, digital world.
Within Mindful Maker, the Aquarelle pattern is inspired by watercolor washes and brushstrokes; Demure pulls from etchings and impressions in metal, glass or clay; and Needle & Thread, playing off the resurgence of classic crafts like crocheting and cross-stitching, showcases a variety of stitching techniques.
Both new collections are available exclusively on Tarkett’s premium Contour LVT, featuring top-of-the-line durability and protection. Every layer in Contour’s construction is designed with performance in mind: its 32-mil wear layer resists indentations in high-traffic areas, fiberglass provides enhanced dimensional stability, and the balancing layer prevents curling and doming. Topping it all off is Tarkett Techtonic, a proprietary polyurethane coating that offers best-in-class protection against scratches, scuffs, stains and abrasions.
Key attributes of Contour include:
Durability: Techtonic and 32-mil wear layer deliver superior resistance with no scratch whitening.
Ease of Installation: RollSmart roll-on adhesive dries in as little as 15 minutes and allows immediate occupancy.
Healthy Materials: Free of ortho-phthalates and all Six Classes of harmful chemicals as defined by the Green Science Policy Institute. Part of the ReStart take back and recycling program.
Made in USA: Designed and manufactured in Florence, Alabama; Buy American Act Compliant.
In addition to offering Tarkett’s broadest portfolio of exclusive wood, stone and abstract visuals, Contour LVT also delivers numerous opportunities for customization. The Tailored by Tarkett program includes a full suite of design services, including the Carpet & LVT Studio online visualizer and Designer on Demand rendering service. Through IMAGINATIONS, Tarkett provides intricate custom insets—including company logos, school mascots, playful shapes or helpful wayfinding. To recolor any digitally printed pattern, customers can contact their local Tarkett sales representative.
