It was back in 1973 that Ray Anderson saw a carpet tile in Europe and recognised its true potential in modern offices. He introduced the concept to America and started a commercial flooring revolution that spread around the world. Close to five decades later, Interface, Inc. has become a leading global flooring company that specialises in carbon neutral carpet tile and resilient flooring, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and nora® rubber flooring.
To offer customers the same high-quality products nearly anywhere in the world, Interface, Inc. has seven manufacturing facilities strategically placed in key locations across the globe and to support their deep commitment to an exceptional customer service experience are local teams in 40 showrooms, across six continents, fluent in over 40 languages. It is this accessibility and cultural understanding which has allowed Interface, Inc. to earn the trust of hospitality customers worldwide.
In India, Interface has been present for almost two decades, and is leading the modular carpet flooring segment. Its Bengaluru-based large warehouse caters to tight delivery schedules of customers and an inhouse concept studio that delivers the most inspiring designs.
Interface, Inc. also has strong presence in the hospitality sector wherein they work closely with customers and consultants to create a cohesive, vibrant and engaging experience for the hotels and its guests. More importantly, no two hospitality projects at Interface, Inc., are alike – every space has its own challenges that must be addressed in order to create truly beautiful design. However, creative floor designs can be an impactful way to bring a design vision to life.
“At Interface Hospitality, we understand how a great product can make an experience more enjoyable, so people stay longer, return, and recommend to others. Our flooring helps guests feel good and connect to the brand. We also know a great product can make all the difference in running a successful business. That’s why we continue to pioneer a system of thinking that delivers superior flooring from LVT to carpets – all designed to be interchangeable, sustainable, replaceable and seamless,” says Agradeep Mondal, Managing Director, Interfaceflor India Pvt Ltd.
The Concept Design team at Interface, Inc., shares Mondal, supports architects and designers in finding beautiful, flooring solutions to help achieve their project requirements within their allocated budget. “Our team from all over the world has a diverse design DNA. They know how to combine beauty with functionality and can help you translate your vision into stunning floor designs,” he puts in.
Talking about how different the products at Interface are, Inc. vis-à-vis their competitors especially in the hospitality sector, Mondal says, “We have optimised the flooring solutions for the guest rooms in a way which not only reduce wastage of material but also impacts the carbon footprint of luxury space without compromising on the guest experience. The seamless integration of our LVT and carpet without any transition strips also allows for a much more delightful experience. Our modular carpet helps reduce the irritation of poor acoustics. And then there are endless patterns, colours, textures and flexibility. Interface modularity makes it possible to design your perfect space.”
As the guests at full-service hotels have high expectations and want everything special, from the look and feel of their rooms to the level of service they experience, Interface, Inc. has created Luxcierge (Concierge + Luxury). “It is our latest service for developing fully custom products. We’ve elevated not just the aesthetics of our product offering but the experience as well. Our collaborative designer to designer approach means we work hand-in-hand with the hotel team to create the perfect floor for your unique brand of luxury,” explains Mondal.
