We couldn’t help but notice a trend shaping up at this year’s NeoCon-modular tiles in a range of shapes and patterns give designers new ways to define space and add bold motifs:

Redefined Pattern by Mannington Commercial: Classic fabrics like houndstooth and tweed are reworked for modern workplaces in a texturally rich modular carpet tile that can help help designers use the floor to shape areas within interior environments. www.mannington.com

Street Thread by Mohawk: Inspired by the work of well-known street artists, Street Thread represents aspects of today's urban art movement with unique patterns derived from inner-city street trends from around the world. www.themohawkgroup.com

Hexagon by Shaw Contract Group: Designed to reflect the shift toward collaborative environments, Hexagon gives designers a way to create designated spaces for social interaction, circulation, and work within open environments, while removing linear pathways in order to facilitate networking. www.shawcontractgroup.com

Design Catalyst by Patcraft: Inspired by an architectural photography, Design Catalyst combines two textures to create a transitional diagonal pattern that offers several installation options to suit a range of design needs. www.patcraft.com

Net Effect by Interface: Inspired by the ocean, the Net Effect carpet tile collection complements Interface's Net-Works program-the latest expression of a commitment to cleaner coastlines and a sustainable manufacturing process-and is crafted from 100 percent recycled content fiber, including fishing nets. www.interfaceflor.com
