Interface Celebrates 25 Years of i2 With New Carpet Tile Collections
Interface (NASDAQ: TILE) has launched two new carpet tile collections, Material Impressions™ and Open Road™, celebrating 25 years of its innovative i2™ design approach. The i2 portfolio, inspired by nature's random patterns, features nearly 50 carpet tile styles prioritizing similarity over uniformity.
The collections expand Interface's commercial flooring solutions, offering designs that blend effortlessly rather than match exactly. This approach eliminates dye lot matching concerns, making tile replacement simple regardless of purchase or installation timing. Material Impressions features three styles with ombre detailing and color gradation, while Open Road offers organic and geometric styles reflecting granite seams and textured contrasts.
The i2 concept, first introduced with the Entropy® product in 2000, was inspired by biomimicry principles from Janine Benyus's 1997 book. Both new collections are now available in North America, designed for workplaces, education spaces, and other commercial applications.

Il portafoglio i2, ispirato ai modelli casuali della natura, presenta quasi 50 stili di piastrelle in moquette che privilegiano la somiglianza rispetto all'uniformità.
Le collezioni ampliano le soluzioni di pavimentazione commerciale di Interface, offrendo design che si fondono senza sforzo piuttosto che abbinarsi esattamente. Questo approccio elimina le preoccupazioni relative alla corrispondenza dei colori, rendendo semplice la sostituzione delle piastrelle indipendentemente dal momento dell'acquisto o dell'installazione. Material Impressions presenta tre stili con dettagli ombre e gradazioni di colore, mentre Open Road offre stili organici e geometrici che riflettono giunzioni di granito e contrasti testurizzati.
Il concetto i2, introdotto per la prima volta con il prodotto Entropy® nel 2000, si ispira ai principi della biomimetica tratti dal libro di Janine Benyus del 1997. Entrambe le nuove collezioni sono ora disponibili in Nord America, progettate per luoghi di lavoro, spazi educativi e altre applicazioni commerciali.

인터페이스 (NASDAQ: TILE)는 혁신적인 i2™ 디자인 접근 방식의 25주년을 기념하여 두 가지 새로운 카펫 타일 컬렉션인 Material Impressions™와 Open Road™를 출시했습니다. 자연의 무작위 패턴에서 영감을 받은 i2 포트폴리오는 균일성보다 유사성을 우선시하는 거의 50가지 카펫 타일 스타일을 특징으로 합니다.
이 컬렉션은 인터페이스의 상업용 바닥재 솔루션을 확장하며, 정확히 일치하기보다는 자연스럽게 혼합되는 디자인을 제공합니다. 이러한 접근 방식은 염료 배치 일치에 대한 우려를 없애주어 구매 시기나 설치 시기와 관계없이 타일 교체를 간단하게 만듭니다. Material Impressions는 그라데이션 색상과 옴브레 디테일이 있는 세 가지 스타일을 제공하고, Open Road는 화강암 이음매와 질감 대비를 반영하는 유기적이고 기하학적인 스타일을 제공합니다.
i2 개념은 2000년 Entropy® 제품과 함께 처음 소개되었으며, 1997년 Janine Benyus의 책에서 생체 모방 원칙에서 영감을 받았습니다. 두 새로운 컬렉션은 현재 북미에서 사용 가능하며, 직장, 교육 공간 및 기타 상업적 용도를 위해 설계되었습니다.

Interface (NASDAQ: TILE) hat zwei neue Teppichfliesen-Kollektionen, Material Impressions™ und Open Road™, vorgestellt, um 25 Jahre seines innovativen i2™ Designansatzes zu feiern. Das i2-Portfolio, inspiriert von den zufälligen Mustern der Natur, umfasst fast 50 Teppichfliesen-Stile, die Ähnlichkeit über Uniformität priorisieren.
Die Kollektionen erweitern die kommerziellen Bodenlösungen von Interface und bieten Designs, die sich mühelos vermischen, anstatt genau übereinzustimmen. Dieser Ansatz beseitigt Bedenken hinsichtlich der Farbabstimmung, sodass der Austausch von Fliesen unabhängig vom Kauf- oder Installationszeitpunkt einfach ist. Material Impressions bietet drei Stile mit Ombre-Details und Farbverläufen, während Open Road organische und geometrische Stile präsentiert, die Granitnähte und texturierte Kontraste widerspiegeln.
Das i2-Konzept, das erstmals mit dem Produkt Entropy® im Jahr 2000 vorgestellt wurde, wurde von den Prinzipien der Biomimikry inspiriert, die im Buch von Janine Benyus aus dem Jahr 1997 beschrieben werden. Beide neuen Kollektionen sind jetzt in Nordamerika erhältlich und wurden für Arbeitsplätze, Bildungsräume und andere kommerzielle Anwendungen entworfen.

Latest Launches Offer Unmatched Design Flexibility
Inspired by how nature would design a floor, Interface’s i2 portfolio features nearly 50 carpet tile styles that prioritize similarity over uniformity. These styles offer maximum flexibility for commercial spaces as they are made to blend effortlessly, rather than match exactly. This randomness in design eliminates matching dye lot concerns, making it easy to replace tiles regardless of when they are purchased or installed. The result is an adaptable, high-performance, and eye-catching choice for workplaces, education spaces, and more.
“Twenty-five years ago, we began to use nature as our guide to reimagine carpet tile design, inspired by Janine Benyus and the concepts in her 1997 book, Biomimicry,” says David Oakey, founder of David Oakey Designs and exclusive product designer for Interface. “In nature, there are no two things that are exactly the same, and this became clear as we looked underfoot at the elements that make up a forest floor. There are similarities in the colors of leaves or bark, but nothing is identical. This completely shifted the design mindset for flooring at the time, which called for defined patterns and perfection.
“In 2000, we launched our first i2 product, Entropy®, installed in random ways,” continued Oakey. “The pattern repeat was eight tiles wide and twice as long. Each tile was slightly different in color and design. Since then, we’ve continued to add new patterns to our i2 portfolio as many of our customers love the intention and aesthetic of the varied designs – they are timeless.”
Material Impressions: A Perfect Blend by Design
From angular and bold geometries to diffused and speckled patterning, Material Impressions explores scale and function to create a unique floor every time. Inspired by the resurgence in ombre detailing and subtle color gradation across materials, the carpet tile collection offers three cohesive, yet distinct, styles made to work together or apart. Embracing the i2 design approach, the collection’s subtle variations in color and pattern offer endless modular design flexibility to meet the needs of today’s commercial spaces.
Open Road: Flexibility at Every Step
Made to be adaptable and mergeable, this carpet tile collection provides infinite design possibilities. As part of Interface’s Open platform, it joins a toolkit of carpet tile solutions that are made to deliver style and performance with every installation—all at a smart price point. Its styles create movement across the floor, reflecting the randomness of nature. The collection explores i2 from two distinct perspectives: an organic style that captures the dynamic look of granite seams, and a geometric style that blends contrast and texture to create a unique floorscape.
“Material Impressions and Open Road are our latest interpretations of i2. Both are truly modular to their core, providing high-performing flooring solutions that meet the aesthetic design needs of today,” says Kelly Simcox, Head of Global Design at Interface. “Nature is one of our favorite designers. With i2, we looked at nature’s approach to variation, prioritizing similarity over uniformity. Interface continues to embrace this innovative approach to design, pushing the boundaries of form and function. By taking modularity to the next level, our customers experience ultimate flexibility and adaptability over time.”
