Forbo has teamed up with British design legend Tibor on an exciting new range for Flotex flocked flooring. Pioneering textile designer Tibor Reich – creator of Tibor - was a man ahead of his time. Although his striking patterns date from the 1950s, they could have been designed yesterday. The cutting-edge technology of Flotex digital printed flooring gives a new lease of life to Tibor's arresting patterns and enables exceptional floor designs.

Through focusing on texture and line, Tibor’s detailed photograph of straw inspired this famous pattern from the Fotexur range. The photograph was taken in the spring sunshine to give the image greater definition and the design deliberately highlights the tonal contrast between light and dark. Co-ordinating broad stripes are available in two colourways.

The natural world provided a great source of inspiration for Tibor and he photographed it extensively. This pattern depicts the granular composition of rocks and pebbles.

This ingenious Tibor pattern has two distinct layers: a fine mesh in the background, overlaid with a fragmented larger scale-grid. Structured yet informal, its subtle textures create a highly effective low-key flooring design.

Although this pattern resembles marble, it was actually inspired by a photograph of cracked mud in the riverbed next to Tibor’s Clifford Mill. One of his most famous Fotexur designs, it was originally used for a woven carpet called Padua, so it is particularly apt that it is now being used for decorative flooring once again. The majority of colourways work in pairs as positive and negative variations.

Tibor was unusual as a textile designer in that he created both
printed and woven fabrics. This pattern was inspired by a photograph
of one of his celebrated Deep Texture weaves, in which irregular
slubby yarns were used to create tactile fabrics with textural variety
and depth.
