Emergence Collection

To appreciate light we must pass through shadows, moments of tranquility contrasted with moments of buoyancy. Mood-setting or playful, Emergence surprises us as color and pattern appear from an elusive background. It is a rich, botanical design that takes its abstract direction from the art world to subvert realism in an aesthetically engaging form. It piques curiosity, visually leading us through a lush landscape of tonality and pattern, with the promise that wherever we emerge, we will feel inspired.

Emergence experiments with the perception and use of pattern in our environments. This collection is expressive, infusing the atmosphere with curiosity and delight. Emergence is offered in an extra large 36”x36” tile which allows this bold pattern to render in a dynamic way, enabling powerful visual impact.

For this collection, Shaw Contract developed a new tile size: 36×36. Manipulating the density of the color and texture through the pattern rendering challenged our capabilities and we adapted our existing technology to artfully present subtle color and densities of textures that then optically render these incredible florals.

The focus on decorative pattern, with the flexibility, practicality, and performance of carpet tile, allows hospitality cues to influence the workplace – catering to silent zone, breakout, lounge/library and hospitality areas. The visual impact of this pattern is highly modular: three different variations on the floral pattern can combine or be used alone to generate varying degrees of impact and clarity of the pattern. Both the palette, diverse scale of pattern and tile size allow for flexible spaces and experiences. Strong colors can be tempered by cool neutrals.

Constructed with EcoWorx® backing and EcoSolution Q® yarn, Emergence has superior durability, style, and recyclability. Certified Cradle to Cradle Silver and assessed for impact on health + the environment. Shaw Contract products designed with EcoWorx tile backing and EcoSolution Q nylon contribute to LEED and are backed by our Environmental Guarantee.
