Whether chosen for a subtle base foundation or as a bold statement designed to enthral, flooring has the potential to drastically alter the atmosphere of a space. Known for their dedication to the support of this versatility, Polyflor are once again changing the game for flooring solution specialists with the release of Expona Flow.

Expona Flow is a unique collection of vinyl sheet designs within the Expona family, Polyflor’s iconic range of luxury vinyl flooring which has received international recognition for its high-performance functionality.

Available in 50 different shades, the Expona Flow collection has been meticulously developed to withstand the demands of heavy commercial applications such as healthcare, education and retail environments. The variety of colour and pattern combinations allow designers to freely choose between a diverse range of authentically replicated tree species and wood treatments alongside innovative abstract and fantastical materials.

Expona Flow is divided into four conceptual themes; Wood, Infinity, Cosmos, and Concrete. Subtle surface textures in the Wood designs emulate the cracks and veins of natural wood, giving the floor an authentic feel. Infinity takes a more creative direction, using striking shades and linear designs inspired by textiles to create an environment layered with visual intrigue.

The minimalism of Cosmos continuous flooring has a smooth, neutral finish which blends perfectly with traditional or contemporary interiors. Pearlescent fragments create subtle highlights within the design to enhance the depth and natural light pathways of the space. Concrete combines subtle tonal variations to provide polished and textured designs which give the appearance of continuous poured concrete for a seamless floor finish, or fine cracks and a sandy surface can achieve the unfinished, reclaimed texture popularised by modern industrial design. Polyflor is extremely versatile and can help to create unique, bespoke flooring solutions for any space. Find out more about the fascinating Expona family here.

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
