Shaw Contract’s Vertical Layers carpet tile collection finds beauty in the unexpected. Inspired by the beauty of surfaces that had been exposed by the elements of time, Shaw Contract’s designers explored forgotten places that told a story through the layers that were revealed on the walls, surfaces and structures themselves. These places bore the energy of both the present and the past. The elements and exposure left surfaces that were weathered and beautifully worn.
Patterns available:
- Expose: a medium-scale pattern with natural and organic elements inspired by the peeling of paint off wooden surfaces
- Relief: a small-scale texture with density variations to add interest. Inspired by worn and scratched surfaces
- Uncover: a medium-scale pattern with natural and organic elements inspired by surface variations from the exposure of the elements and time
- Tinge: a medium-scale pattern with organic movement uncovering an exposed colour
- Undertone: a medium-scale pattern in a wash of subtle organic movement inspired by oxidized metal
