From ancient etchings to contemporary icons, human beings have always had an enduring instinct to communicate through marks and symbols. As a result, Tarkett is bringing that instinct to the floor. The brand has launched Transcribe, its carpet tile and luxury vinyl tile collection of the year, which is ideal for workplace settings.
Transcribe includes four carpet styles available in nine shared colourways, as well as six LVT styles with four colourways each. All of the Transcribe carpet styles are available in ethos carpet tile and Flex-Aire cushion carpet tile. Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze v.4.0, Declare Red List Free, and made with up to 78 per cent recycled content, ethos carpet tile is a sustainable solution for high-traffic spaces. Flex-Aire cushion carpet tile is an option for spaces that require a durable flooring solution. The LVT styles are available in 3.0 mm Contour LVT, engineered for durability with a 32-mil wear layer and protected by Techtonic polyurethane floor coating. The entire collection is part of Tarkett’s ReStart take-back and recycling program, through which the ethos backing can be fully recycled back into itself and Contour has an open-loop path to circularity.
“The Transcribe collection is inspired by layered forms that carry meaning across time. Humanity’s form of expression has always evolved; yet, its purpose remains connection,” said Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design for Tarkett. “Every design in this collection feels intentional and is rooted in human experience, bringing movement and identity to the floor and balancing visual interest with the thoughtfulness to create environments that support a shared experience.”
