Tarkett introduces Living Contours carpet collection. October 1, 2026 Solon, Ohio - Tarkett has expanded its soft-surface portfolio with Living Contours, a carpet collection designed for senior living environments. The collection draws inspiration from natural terrain, incorporating subtle geometry, organic patterns and tonal variations. Its designs reflect the movement of wind and water across landscapes. "Movement within nature leaves behind contours that define surface and form. Wind traces the land, water carves gentle paths," said Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design for Tarkett North America. "These markings evolve, layer by layer, creating patterns that feel both fluid and grounded." Six coordinated styles. Living Contours features six styles, each available in nine colorways. Designers can specify the collection across Powerbond hybrid carpet, ethos carpet tile and Flex-Aire cushion carpet tile. "Each pattern in Living Contours reflects the subtle geometry of shifting terrain lines that bend, converge and disperse," Simmons added. "Texture and tonal variation build through accumulation. Shapes emerge through repetition." The six patterns include: * Ridge Veil: Softened geometry and layered depth create a calm, cohesive appearance. * Canopy Thread: Abstract forms and layered light introduce subtle movement across the surface. * Fernmark: A softened zigzag pattern creates a feathered texture with an organic appearance. * Stone Current: Moss-like textures and circular patterns reflect gradual movement and continuity. * Mossline: Interconnected forms and subtle variations create an evolving geometric pattern. * Juniper Trace: Evenly spaced accents and textured layers deliver a balanced design. Designers can customize the collection's colors through Tarkett's Carpet Recoloring Studio. The tool is part of the free Tailored by Tarkett visualizer suite. The platform allows designers to explore layouts, save swatches and find coordinating wall bases. Performance and sustainability features.

Tarkett debuts 'In the Making' carpet collection. September 2, 2026 Solon, Ohio - Tarkett has launched In the Making, a new carpet collection designed for education and workplace environments. The collection draws inspiration from the creative process and the ways ideas gradually take shape. It includes three patterns: Traced, Preparation and Gestural. "Rooted in restraint and nuance, In the Making captures the conscious contemplation where creativity is formed," said Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design for Tarkett North America. "Each style is an exploration of subtle movement, softened geometry and textural depth - bringing rhythm, balance and visual interest without overwhelming the space." Tarkett offers the three styles in 12 colorways. Each is available in ethos carpet tile, Flex-Aire cushion carpet tile and Powerbond hybrid carpet. Three patterns inspired by the creative process. Traced features a layered, cross-directional linear pattern. The design creates a textural grid with subtle movement. Tarkett drew inspiration from the marks and imprints left behind during the creative process. Preparation uses an abstract, deconstructed linear pattern to create movement and layered texture. Its hand-painted aesthetic brings a contemporary look to commercial interiors. Gestural translates expressive, freeform mark-making into a modular pattern. Scattered rectangles and rhombus-like shapes create a less structured composition designed to evoke spontaneity. Multiple performance options. All three styles are available in three constructions, giving designers options for different performance and comfort needs. Powerbond hybrid carpet is designed for demanding environments.
