PRODUCT FOCUS
Back to Nature
Interface's lead product designer, Kari Pei, introduces
Global Change, a modular carpet collection based on biophilia
Interface's Global Change collection of modular flooring references
nature in order to promote well-being and spark creativity. Channeling
biophilic concepts in two dimensions, Kari Pei, lead product designer
at Interface, conceived the collection to elevate everyday experiences
while enhancing the company's established offerings.
Pei drew inspiration from subtle transitions in natural settings,
such as sunshine filtering through leaves and tree branches, creating
a dappled effect on the ground; the blurred perceptions of light
permeating and bending around cloud formations; the shifts in pattern
and texture between dunes and coastlines; and the play of brightness
and darkness throughout the day.
Intended to be mixed and matched, Global Change offers a range
of colors, textures, and formats from small-scale to bold graphics. Global
Change's solution-dyed yarns comprise seven options. The foundational
tiles are Progression I, II, and III (above left, with a herringbone pattern,
and left, demonstrating an ashlar effect), and they come in three
gradated base textures at three different price points and pile heights.
Glazing and Shading (above right, with a cool polished-cement finish)
take inspiration from tree canopies, with foliage appearing as positive
shapes against textural striations, while Ground and Raku (not shown)
resemble the cracked appearance of dried earth and can be installed
as nondirectional squares.
The tiles come in approximately 19⅔-inch squares and
10-by-40-inch planks, each ranging from flat to plush. The Interface
design team referenced global trends when developing the six earthy,
mineral-based colorways: Eclipse, Evening Dusk, Desert Shadow,
Fawn, Daylight, and Morning Mist.
"Global Change takes the end user on a journey from the forest
to the coast, offering beautiful aesthetics that also deliver modular
versatility and functionality," says Pei. "Each product was designed
to harmoniously blend into the next, and the collection has the unique
ability to adapt as design and tastes evolve." -MURRYE BERNARD
