Enjoy complete creative freedom with the new Opus abstract capsule collection
We are delighted to welcome a collection of unique abstract designs to our popular and versatile Opus range.
Designed to bring impact to a range of settings including hospitality, retail and community living schemes, the new designs can be paired with existing wood planks and stone tiles from the Opus range. The collection offers ample opportunities to create visual movement with areas of pattern in perfect symmetry or offset designs for a disjointed uniformity that takes the concept of abstract flooring to a whole new level.
Revolutionising our abstract portfolio, the new Opus abstract capsule collection introduces 24 new colourways in a range of tones, textures and sizes, inspired by traditional trends from the Italian Renaissance, including natural stone, textiles and man-made materials. The designs include organic pigments with a textile base, terrazzo from the Adriatic coast and stucco reimagined for the 21st Century as well as distinctive stenciled and abstract visuals on natural stone bases and timeless poured and speckled concretes.
Fleur Carson, commercial sales director, explained: “We’ve long championed flooring without bounds when it comes to creating impressive designs that engage and provoke a reaction. We see design as a journey and our mission to design materials that support this with endless possibilities, fuelling creativity and promoting individuality.
“We’re proud of the craftmanship of our product designers and what has been achieved by creating such detailed textures and textiles. Replication of natural wood and stone designs has always been a fundamental part of what we do and we wanted to expand these boundaries to open up new territory and opportunities for design. The new Opus abstract collection offers total freedom to curate designs that are truly unique and we’re excited to see how designers will use our new portfolio to let their imaginations fly.”
Like all Opus designs, the new abstract collection features an R10 slip rating and 0.55mm wear layer, making these suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial settings. Naturally warmer and softer underfoot than real wood and stone, Karndean flooring is also compatible with underfloor heating systems and is easier to keep hygienically clean, requiring no resealing or resurfacing. Where enhanced acoustics are required, the Opus range can be installed over Karndean Versilay InstaShield to achieve impact sound reduction of 21dB.
