Tarkett Debuts Living Contours Carpet Collection for Senior Living

Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design for Tarkett North America, describes the collection as a reflection of the subtle geometry found in shifting terrain. By utilizing repetition and tonal variation, the designs—ranging from the feathered structure of Fernmark to the rhythmic circularity of Stone Current—aim to provide a sense of calm and cohesive order. Each of the six styles is available in nine colorways and can be adapted through the company's online recoloring platform.

Beyond aesthetics, the collection prioritizes performance through three distinct backing options: Powerbond hybrid carpet, ethos carpet tile, and Flex-Aire cushion carpet tile. Powerbond provides an impermeable moisture barrier, while ethos offers a non-PVC, high-recycled-content solution. For areas requiring extended underfoot comfort, Flex-Aire serves as a durable alternative. All styles utilize the Dynex SD fiber system, a 100% recycled nylon yarn treated with fluorine-free soil protection to ensure long-term vibrancy and stain resistance. The entire collection integrates into Tarkett's ReStart recycling program, supporting the manufacturer’s commitment to circular economy standards.
