Tarkett recently debuted Faux Bois + Techtonic, an LVT flooring product created by Tandus Centiva. Designer Manuel Navarro doesn’t believe in forcing anything to become something it’s not. Starting with the irregular grain structure of natural birch, Navarro played with the scale and proportion of the visual in an almost cartoon-like fashion, letting Faux Bois tell a story of its very own.
“Traditionally with the design of LVT, we're always trying to create designs that mimic natural wood. But I thought, why not embrace the fact that it isn't real wood?” said Navarro. “Design has to be humanistic, approachable, and casual. That's what I look for when I'm purchasing items for my own home or office, and that's what I think I've accomplished with Faux Bois.”
