Interface, a worldwide commercial flooring company, unveiled its latest collection, Embodied Beauty. The collection offers a variety of carpet tile designs inspired by and manufactured to respect nature. Consistent with the company's Climate Take Back mission and commitment to lower the carbon footprints of its products, all seven styles of Embodied Beauty are carbon neutral across their full product life cycle through the Carbon Neutral Floors program. In addition, this is the first Interface carpet tile collection to feature the company's new cradle-to-gate carbon negative carpet tiles, an innovation announced separately.
Designed by Interface Vice President of Global Product Design Kari Pei, Embodied Beauty reflects Japanese aesthetics of minimalism, restoration, and the organic beauty of the natural world. The collection evokes feelings of connection with others and with nature, embracing the principles of ikigai, a Japanese concept related to "having a purpose." These influences come together in an array of unique styles that range from narrow monochromatic patterns to large-scale graphic tufted textures.
