Finally, Creation is an environmentally-friendly, 100% recyclable solution.
The Creation Collection from Gerflor is based on three major decorative trends:
URBAN: City loving
Urban draws its inspiration from the unique atmosphere conveyed by the great cities of the world: New York, Paris, London and Tokyo. Urban’s industrial décor offers commercial space the feel of the city by enhancing the appearance of raw materials such as concrete. Gerflor’s range includes conventional, structured, rodded and bush-hammered concrete, as well as an entirely new concept: concrete strips in contrasting hues. The fashionable Urban range consists of tiles and planks (square or rectangular) in 23 different finishes and is ideal for office environments.
AUTHENTIC: Impeccable taste
A lasting trend that focuses on the essentials and works with a new kind of modesty and simplicity that is less ostentatious. The desire for authenticity finds expression in new materials and colours. To illustrate this trend, Gerflor makes use of the essence of oak, beech and walnut together with other kinds of rustic wood. The Authentic range consists of rectangular tiles and planks (square or rectangular) in 32 different finishes for fitting out various types of professional premises, especially businesses.
NATURE: Timeless design
Priority is given to the sober, Scandinavian look using natural, mineral and plant materials. Nature plays with marble and aged concrete effects, like painted wood washed up on the shore and weathered by time, the sun and the spray of the sea to give an understated and timeless elegance. The fashionable Nature line is based on 34 different finishes with square or rectangular tiles and planks that fit in smoothly with any type of commercial space.
