Tarkett
One in seven people worldwide is estimated

For the development of its Discovery collection of coordinating soft-surface and resilient flooring, Tarkett explored how interior design and product selection in education environments can impact thinking, behavior, engagement, social awareness, and interactive experiences. With intention grounded in research, the company’s designers created flooring that both soothes and engages
the senses so that every person, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse, experiences a learning environment that helps them flourish. In addition to its contribution to engaging design, the collection includes several proprietary technologies that contribute to a healthier indoor environment and a healthier planet.
