Tarkett updates carpet collections
Tarkett has updated three of its ethos® carpet tile and Powerbond® hybrid carpet collections with new color lines.

Aftermath III SD is an interpretation of Euler's phi function and Fibonacci's famous sequence, merging art and algorithm into a distinctive visual harmony. Edifice II SD draws inspiration from the rhythm and geometry of city skylines. Its design builds from layered blocks and shifting perspectives, creating a visual interplay of shadow and reflection. Primary Color captures the energy of motion through its layered, mechanical shifts of color. Rich strokes of various colors flow across the surface, creating visual rhythm and depth.
