Flotex Design Challenge
Forbo Flooring Systems, in collaboration with Material Source Studio, invites you to take part in an exciting design competition to create a unique Flotex flooring concept.
This initiative proudly supports Mind UK and Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), helping to raise awareness around mental health through the power of design.
What is Flotex
Flotex is a high-performance textile flooring that combines the comfort of carpet with the durability and hygiene of a resilient floor. Its ultra-dense nylon fibre surface is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining its appearance over time.
Easy to clean and quick to dry, most stains can be removed with just water, while its waterproof backing helps prevent mould and odours. With excellent slip resistance, acoustic performance, and a soft, warm feel underfoot, Flotex is a safe, comfortable, and low-maintenance solution for busy spaces.
Design with Purpose
This is your opportunity to express your creativity while contributing to an important cause. Selected designs will be showcased at Material Source Studio locations in London, Glasgow, or Manchester—offering valuable exposure and recognition within the design community.
Whether you’re an emerging talent or an established designer, this competition provides a platform to share your ideas, tell your story, and make an impact through design.
