Behind the scenes: developing new colours

The all-new colour collection has been developed in close collaboration with renowned designers Maison Marie, AL Architects, EQ Interior and TREU Interior Specials. The article below describes the development process for exciting, on-trend colours for our floors.

Armed with a big dose of inspiration, various mood boards and colour samples the design agencies got to work in our showroom to come up with new, expressive colours. Learning more about the production process and colour pigments helped decide on which colours would work best. After collecting all ideas we narrowed the number of colours down to 16 of which 12 blend colours and 4 solid colours.

The next step was connecting these new colours in three appropriate themes: Earth Tones, Industrial Cool and Neutrals.

We couldn’t let go of our most popular colours therefore we selected 16 Originals from our current colour collection to complete the palette.
