SIMI Show 2017: Forbo commits its flooring to workspaces

At the SIMI show, the commercial real estate event taking place from 6 to 8 December at the Palais des Congrès, Porte Maillot, Forbo is teaming up with Génie de Lieux to share expertise and experiments with 11 other partners on the theme of the "Free Office" and digital tools.

Three Forbo solutions will be in the spotlight during the event, all ideally suited to the commercial sector, with the following strengths: ease of installation and maintenance, wear resistance, and acoustic and aesthetic qualities...

These are performance features that project owners, HR directors, project managers and users rightly look for.

Forbo products to discover at the SIMI show
Marmoleum cocoa: A new addition to the Marmoleum solid linoleum range, the cocoa design, made with cocoa bean shell extracts, proves to be an innovation that is as technical as it is decorative. With a unique texture and natural look, this flooring, winner of the prestigious iF Design Award 2017, reinforces the sustainable design ethos of Forbo Flooring Systems. For refined, contemporary workspaces!

Desktop: Made from natural raw materials, Desktop linoleum is designed to cover furniture such as desks, chairs, stools, cabinets and doors.

Particularly flexible and easy to apply horizontally, vertically and on curved surfaces, Desktop has antistatic properties that prevent dust and dirt from settling, keeping the material unstained, hygienic and clean. A valuable advantage in high-traffic areas!

Flotex tibor: Named in tribute to Tibor Reich, Flotex tibor is inspired by the Fotextur process invented by this key figure of British textile design, which creates a pattern by assembling photographs of elements from nature.

In addition to its dynamic graphics, Flotex tibor combines the acoustic comfort and warmth of textile with the hygiene and easy cleaning of PVC, making it the unfailing ally of commercial spaces.

All made without phthalates, the Forbo products presented at the SIMI show help preserve indoor air quality and appeal equally to users, interior designers and project owners working together to improve the layout of office premises.
