FORBO 

Tessera In-Touch 

Tessera In-Touch, Forbo’s new striated carpet tile collection, takes inspiration from natural craft textiles and hand weaves, embracing the idea of a less-structured and more calming aesthetic. The colour concept is composed of five complementing pairs, with each offering hues that diffuse along the width of the plank, meaning that paired colours flow easily into each other or contrast when installed together. www.forbo.com. Specifier, Product & services for hospitality design
