TRANSPRESS

This Created by collection is inspired by Mac Stopa's experiences, observations and fascinations in various fields of design. In collaboration with Forbo Flooring, his ideas were visualised using high definition printing techniques.

Mac has a unique style that is captured beautifully in this collection of Flotex FR items. The designs chosen for this range were carefully picked from the many proposed by Mac and our aim is not only to present his personal philosophy on design but also to show the commercial relevance his style has in areas where statement design is used.

The recurring theme of the designs is the idea of architectural modularity and the desire to organize the space around us in an architectural way. Mac realises this through his use of repetitive geometric forms, such as hexagons, trapezoids or braided structures which form the base of the collection.

Unique visual partnership

"When designing, I like to experiment, I observe the beauty of nature and the physical phenomena that surround us. This often becomes the inspiration for new projects. A unique artistic interpretation."

Geometric forms & new technologies

"As a designer of industrial forms, I am fascinated by organic structures but also new technologies related to 3D printing. By combining these elements with the geometric shapes, the designs I have created achieve a quality of softness and three-dimensionality.

Throughout the collection there is a recurrent theme based on the variable colours of adjacent modular forms. In nature this is associated with the refraction and absorption of light reflections. I have used it as a design tool, giving each pattern dimension and subtlety which, when combined with the traditional familiarity of modular patterning, creates an exciting fusion of classic form and 21st century technology."
