Flotex Sottsass | Bacteria 990501

Flotex combines the practicality of a resilient flooring with the slip resistant and acoustic properties usually associated with textiles. Flotex is a strong and hygienic floor covering, and, being completely waterproof, Flotex is also the only truly washable textile floor.

Flotex offers a warm, comfortable, hygienic floor covering that is suitable for any commercial specification. Thanks to the highly effective anti-microbial treatment Sanitized®, Flotex offers constant protection against bacteria, including MRSA, E-coli and the development of dust mites.

Ground breaking both aesthetically and technically. The Flotex Sottsass collection is the result of a creative collaboration between Forbo Flooring and the Italian design studio, Sottsass Associati responsible for the famous Memphis Design trend at the end of the last century.

The designs have features in common: irregular, apparently random and organic forms, and the “optical” features that play with scale.

Taking inspiration from Sottsass's "Bacterio" sketch from the 1970's, this design is open to wide interpretation. Close up it can be perceived as random carnival confetti, from afar it appears as a constellation of distant stars.
