Interface introduced two new carpet tile collections, Material Impressions and Open Road, celebrating the 25th anniversary of its innovative i2 design approach. The collections expand Interface's portfolio of nature-inspired flooring solutions that prioritize similarity over uniformity in commercial spaces.
The i2 approach revolutionized commercial flooring when it was introduced in 1998, moving away from the industry standard of exact pattern matching. Instead, inspired by nature's random variations, i2 tiles are designed to blend rather than match exactly – similar to how no two leaves in a forest are identical. This innovation eliminates matching dye lot concerns and simplifies tile replacement throughout a building's lifecycle.
