Tarkett has introduced Engraved Traces, a new texture-centric carpet tile collection designed to evoke the subtle, quiet energy that connects interior spaces. The launch expands the company’s carpet tile portfolio with patterns that prioritize depth, movement and tactile experience.
“Texture is one of the subtle threads that unify the design experience, bringing depth to minimalism, warmth to modernity and movement to stillness,” said Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design for Tarkett North America. “In every brushed surface, woven detail or etched line, texture leaves a trace—a quiet imprint of intention that invites us to see and feel its impact in a space.”
Two Patterns Inspired by Rhythm, Movement and Connection
Tailored for workplace and educational environments, Engraved Traces introduces two distinct patterns that encourage users to experience spaces through texture and rhythm:
- Etched Point – A dynamic pattern inspired by motion and realignment. Etched Point captures shifting perspectives in texture, reflecting continuous transitions that remain visually connected.
- Shift Print – Defined by clarity emerging from complexity. Shift Print draws inspiration from grid structures—classic in form yet irregular in rhythm—creating a balance of focus and intricacy.
Each pattern expresses memory, movement and contrast, transforming surfaces into visually rich and resonant flooring solutions. Both designs are available in 24 x 24 inch tiles and come in 10 deep, versatile hues.
