Our Countdown to NeoCon 2013 continues with a preview of carpet.

Universal Fibers
Floor 7, Showroom 6038
Intraflex
Revolutionary carpet fiber combining the benefit of solution-dyed nylon infused with styling attributes of high accent colors. Multi-Tonal fiber system produces sophisticated carpet patterns with natural tweed effect. Universal Color 2.0 ensures endless color flexibility, mergeable capability and zero water in dye process.

Redefined Texture
Inspired by the rethink of fashion classics for today's projects, Redefined Texture uses a proprietary, ultra-large denier fiber with patented variable twist technology to give the carpet a heavily textured look and feel, while maintaining commercial grade performance.

Woven Matrix Collection
Suzanne Tick experiments with texture and relief in Woven Matrix's two coordinating woven broadlooms. Low luster solution-dyed nylon gives the duo the plush look and sheen of boiled or felted wool. State-of-the-art bundling processes produce crisp, clear and distinct definition of yarn bundles for a hand-woven, handcrafted appearance.

Plynyl Tile with BioFelt + TerraStrand
TerraStrand, an innovative yarn and fabric development, substitutes petroleum-based plasticizers for phthalate-free, vegetable compounds, resulting in a fabric with 25% renewable content. BioFelt is a PVC-free tile backing system made from recycled water bottles, renewable vegetable compounds and post-industrial materials. Combined the total recycled content of tiles is between 55% – 61%.

Design Catalyst
Inspired by an architectural photo, Design Catalyst captures the unique visual of an angle that distinctly unites two adjoining textures. Using this transitional diagonal pattern along with two striking complementary textures, this collection offers an abundance of  installation variations.

Redefined Pattern
The Redefined Pattern Collection reinterprets fashion classics for the floor, in ways suited to today's modern workplace. A modular carpet that is visually stunning, texturally rich, yet able to play a supporting role in an interior space - while helping designers use the floor to shape areas within interior environments for their end use and the unique personality of each project.

The Western Edge Collection
The Western Edge Collection captures the culture of the California desert as a place where anything goes. These designs are rooted in music, art and fashion but are filtered through a roadmap of convergent yarn and color. The linear backdrop of Savage Journey is an account of life on the road. Hitchhiker speaks to the one long, straight road that cuts through the most desolate parts of the land.

Hexagon
A natural evolution of form, Hexagon is a logical move for carpet tile. Non-linear in composition, it reflects the shift toward collaborative environments-impacting the way we work, walk, communicate & exist within a space. Reinforcing the social aspect of a space & the physical & mental interaction within it, Hexagon creates connection points & removes the linear path to facilitate networking.

HalfTone
Suzanne Tick leverages Stratatec tufting technology to produce expansive repeating color gradations within perpendicular thread-ups across the machine's full length/width. The flooring is then engineered into modular tiles. Plying yarns in high/low contrasts produces the pixilated look of a halftone print. Sero imparts the daring & restraint of minimalist art.

BOLYU
Floor 11, Showroom 1167-68
Svelte
Svelte, as the name implies, is lean, elegant & sophisticated. Compiled of a palette of chic neutrals with an array of urbane accents, Svelte is well-built for any commercial application. Svelte is the first product from BOLYU’s new category of flooring, LVL (level). LVL is the next generation in flooring, delivering all the qualities of a soft surface with the performance of hard surface.
