Sphera Elite offers modest luxury that gives the interior a warm and sophisticated atmosphere
Elite is a completely new, unique visual with a more natural, terrazzo-like look with great depth and colour tones. The designs show a subtle layering of tone on tone that is created by combining 3 different shades in a different chip size. This creates a beautiful melange effect. The colour shades make the design more dirt hiding and, in combination with the new recipe, also more scratch resistant.
Calming and reconnecting to nature
Consciously including organic patterns and nature into interiors gives us the ability to strengthen the human-nature connection that we all long for. With the Sphera Elite collection, our design team has created an on-trend collection that makes deliberate use of organic shapes and colours inspired by nature. The sophisticated design with its delicate accents and depth transforms a room into an attractive place, while complementing interior finishes such as wood and stone. Sphera Elite floors can create softness in a (care) environment where people are often not at ease.
Beautiful base of harmonious tones
The selection of 18 items comprises a beautiful base of calm and harmonious tones, including 4 colours with luxurious metallic accents and 3 colours with characterful, attractive colour blends. The 4 colours with metallic accents contain traces of gold, silver, or copper for a subtle luxurious look. Real eye-catchers that create an enchanting dialogue between light and shadow. The 2 unique colour blends reflect the atmosphere of impressionist paintings and are the result of a careful selection of pigments with the right contrast.
There are numerous combination possibilities within the collection and within Forbo’s extensive portfolio of floor coverings.

About LRV
In architecture, Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is a measure of the percentage of visible and usable light that is reflected from a surface when illuminated by a light source. The LRV can be linked to a number of decisions on which a colour can be chosen. The approximate LRV of a colour indicates the amount of visible light that a colour will reflect. Black has a light reflectance value of 0% and absorbs all light. White has a light reflectance value of 100% and keeps a building light and cool. It also links to the use of electricity where lighter colours need less lighting, which is a direct saving for the environment. All Forbo products carry a light reflection value, which can be found in the text next to the enlargement of the tabletop.
About NCS
NCS colour coding describes the colour of any material. With numeric colour codes, so called NCS Notations, such as NCS S 1080-Y70R, any colour can be described precisely. NCS has defined 1950 standardised colours at every 10th step of the colour space to represent the entire colour space. Each notation's colour sample is visually identical to any other colour sample of the same notation, whether it is a standardised colour or a colour in between the 1950 standard colours. This way you can find matching flooring colours with other coloured items in a room.
The 'Natural Colour System' NCS has been developped in order to indentify the colour value, its intensity and hue for a product. By using the NCS measurement system, colours and colour groups can be identified and matched regardless of the material that has been used. In this way colour coordinates for different aspects of the interior of a building can be determined. All Forbo Flooring products carry an NCS code, which can be found next to the enlargement of the tabletop and in our download center.
