PTPF Journal 2025

I SSUE 3 202 5

Issue 3 of our People Together, Planet Forever journal celebrates the power of contrast and coexistence—not a single story, but many, layered in form and feeling.

From carpet tile to rugs, broadloom, hard surface, and our new ceramic + porcelain collections, these materials form the foundation of spaces where people learn, grow, and collaborate.

Spaces built for curiosity, connection, and care.

Crafted to support both people and planet.

People Together, Planet Forever is our promise.

Neutral is Not Enough is our call to action.

Together, we pause and reflect—to create designs that bring purpose to place.
