Flotex by Starck Offers Highly Adaptable Flooring Solution

Nov. 1, 2018

Renowned designer Philippe Starck partners with Forbo Flooring Systems to create the Flotex by Starck Collection, which features three unique, scalable and versatile patterns.

Visionary designer Philippe Starck and Forbo’s product development and design team for Flotex Flocked flooring have collaborated to create the Flotex by Starck collection.

Combined, Starck’s rich designs complement the technical benefits of Flotex’s textile floor, which provides the hard-wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor, but also offers the warmth and acoustical benefits of a carpet. The result is a product that is eye-catching, slip and stain resistant, waterproof and washable.

Starck’s collection features three unique patterns, created by using a high-definition digital printing technique. By playing on scale and transition, each of these flooring designs challenges tradition and offers countless color and design combinations. That makes Flotex by Starck highly adaptable to many locations and projects. See how this product breaks down below.
