Carpet Tile, InterfaceFLOR: NeoCon 2009

New bold colors! We saw a lot of fluorescent colors in textiles this year.




Pinwheel Pattern
This is a quarter turn pattern with a 3" dot.
The 'dot' is created by simply cutting down a standard sized tile.

Basketweave
This pattern was created by cutting carpet tiles in half and adding a 3" dot.


Blocks
This pattern was created by cutting carpet tiles in half diagonally.



The Interface showroom at the Merchandise Mart, Chicago was very inspirational. I love the creativity shown with the different sizes tiles.
