Once UponATile
InterfaceFLOR has launched the final two products fromits Once Upon a Tile collection: Vintage Nebbia and Circles. Vintage Nebbia is inspired by heritage, history and the ‘lived-in’ look,with a subtle, authentic decoration, available in four distinct colour-ways. It offers a look into the carefree spirit of the past,when designwas intuitive and spontaneous,
and reinvents it for the contemporary setting of today. The design explores the primitive impulse to decorate and adorn, and is given a level of sophistication through the colours and textures used. In contrast to Vintage, the Circles range is based on a simple enduring shape, playingwith proportions to produce something unique. For more information
