The 2025 Starnet Design Awards reveal how top contractors and designers are pushing the boundaries of what commercial flooring can achieve in modern spaces.
Tarkett has expanded its Victory Color Studio and Event+ luxury vinyl tile collections with new vibrant colorways designed for workplace, education, and healthcare environments. The additions include 36 Hues & Tones colors and 25 Abstract palette options, emphasizing durability, sustainability, and neurodiversity support through varied design choices.
HMTX has merged its Metroflor and Teknoflor divisions into a unified Contract Business & Trade Unit, leveraging product similarities and manufacturing relationships while maintaining separate distribution channels—Metroflor through independent wholesalers and Teknoflor/Aspecta through new partner Spartan Surfaces.
Interface marks 25 years of its nature-inspired i2 design approach with two new carpet tile collections. Material Impressions and Open Road expand the company's commercial flooring portfolio, offering flexible installation options through designs that blend rather than match exactly, inspired by nature's random patterns.
From matching broadloom and carpet tile to a multi-platform luxury vinyl plank, the new collections directly respond to customer feedback for the Main Street market, the company said.
High Society by EF Contract, inspired by Monte Carlo's grandeur and the French Riviera's airy coastline, brings Mediterranean luxury to modern offices and educational spaces through elegant design elements.
Commercial flooring manufacturer Interface posted robust third-quarter 2024 results. Strong performance in education and corporate segments, improved margins, and significant debt reduction led the company to raise its full-year guidance.
Tarkett's annual Healthy Building Summit in Austin brought together more than 40 education professionals to address the critical need for healthier educational buildings. The two-day workshop explored how built environments impact mental health, engagement, and belonging.
The new report helps interior designers anticipate market conditions, plan their business strategies, and identify potential growth areas, particularly in the education sector.
