Havwoods

Havwoods has introduced six new designs to its distinguished Henley Collection, providing a new array of on-trend yet timeless flooring options. Comprised of Engineered European Oak, the new designs are perfectly suited to both contemporary and classic interior schemes. With a beautiful and varied choice of tones and textures, the six new planks exude warmth and softness in their aesthetic, working seamlessly against in both residential and commercial settings. From the darker hues of the Cordova and Burnaby colourways to the softer shades of the Fulford and Somenos, the designs are enriched in depth and character, providing an elegant and subtle backdrop to any space. To add character to the flooring, a process of sawing, brushing, burning and planing are applied, whilst at the same time, the planks are tested to ensure that the processes involved to create the texture doesn’t weaken the structure of the wood itself. havwoods.com

RAK Ceramics

Surface 2.0 tiles from RAK Ceramics are made with a versatile and durable porcelain material. Suitable for use in a wide range of both residential and commercial applications, the tiles are available in cut sizes of 60 x 120 cm and 60 x 60 cm, in a choice of 10 colours and three finishes. Coated with RAK-Sanit, the tiles also offer a hygienic option.

Forbo

Polish Architect and designer Mac Stopa has explored new themes and designs that let him express his artistic interpretation through the form of flooring. Using Forbo Flooring Systems’ high-definition digital printing techniques, the new ‘Created by Mac Stopa’ Flotex range consists of graphical and expressive designs, intended to allow specifiers to create strong and aspirational spaces. Stopa’s work spans several design disciplines, including architecture, interior design, industrial design, art, graphic design and fashion. Expressing his passion for geometric forms and mathematical precision, the new flooring range for Forbo is inspired by Stopa’s experiences, observations and fascinations, utilising a variety of different forms and tying in natural themes such as materials and flora with more geometric shape designs. The collection is split into four different designs – Flower, Trapezoid, Wicker and Hexagon – each of which are available in a variety of colourways. All of the designs are printed onto Forbo’s Flotex flocked floor covering, using high-definition digital printing techniques. Karen Wilding, marketing communications manager at Forbo Flooring Systems, said: ‘For this iteration of our “Created by” range, the vision of Mac Stopa has taken inspiration from organic structures found in nature and the world around us, combining a quality of softness and three-dimensionality. The result is a collection of fascinating options for specifiers, whether they want to add a pop of colour to the office, or to make a statement for leisure and retail, they make for a great choice for moving or connecting areas in those industries.’ forbo-flooring.co.uk/macstopa
