Dynamics of a building

An inspiring approach for any interior design

The Forbo Flooring international design team uses a global colour card with which all our collections can be related. The global colour card is based on international trends and on the various dynamics taking place in a building. The colour card enables our design team to create a complete product portfolio that connects seamlessly.

The dynamics of a building is a concept that is based on 5 situations in a building, no matter the segment. By this uniform approach a building plan can be developed with the function in mind. The 5 dynamics are Receiving, Moving, Connecting, Concentrating and Recharging.
