Mannington Commercial's new tx:style Perspectives Collection, designed in collaboration with Paul Lewandowski of SMRT and designer Katie Henry, interprets abstract organic shapes in structured layers of pattern.
Lewandowski’s pattern, Coastal Rocks, was inspired by the striated basaltic rock, flora, fauna, and colors found along the Maine coastline. “I work with clients in the education, healthcare and corporate markets, and it’s quite clear that organic patterns are a great fit,” he said. “I am also a big fan of stripes, but striped flooring is often too graphic for many applications. Coastal Rocks is an organic stripe, drawing from how rocky outcrops and tide pools form patterns, and how the living organisms that grow on them create additional layers.”
