InterfaceFLOR recently launched its Memphis Underfoot Collection in India through a series of events across Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi. The Collection is inspired from the Memphis Design Movement of the 80s which was all about breaking out of the design establishment after years in which colour and decoration had been taboo. Similarly, in the late 70s - early 80s in India, we saw the Hippy Movement come of age, which is of the similar philosophy. The Hippies were all about self expression and liberation. So who better to bring this collection to market than the Hippies of yesteryears!

Fifties kitsch, Americana and Tennessee Rock ‘n’ Roll all influenced the kooky out-there Milan-based Memphis design collective of the 1980s. The work of that era certainly had a sense of humor and now so does InterfaceFLOR’s Doodle. With a pattern reminiscent of soda fountain countertops, Doodle makes us smile.
And depending on how it’s used and which color is chosen, Doodle creates a soft ballad vibe or sings at the top of its lungs. Solo or in a medley with other InterfaceFLOR styles we think Doodle is a number one hit. And frankly, as the great grandchild of an art movement influenced by Rock ‘n’ Roll, we would expect nothing less.

In the early 1980s a group of artists and architects living in Milan turned the world on its head with their Milan based Memphis design. Thirty years have passed and InterfaceFLOR thinks it’s time to shake things up again.
Introducing Memphis to Milan and Back, a library of 10 black and white patterns ranging from small scale to bold that can be mixed together or used alone to create floors as sedate or “out-there” as you want them to be.

Soft spoken sophistication in different styles & colors, simple textures and tailored patterns... that’s InterfaceFLOR’s new collection: The drop dead gorgeous 1000 series, a perfect range for open office areas. For jaw dropping corporate corridors, reception areas and public walkways we present the 2000 Series and bringing to you 3000 series for executive offices and boardrooms. So if the floors in your offices are looking for a killer candidate, we would like to make a referral.

The no-rules approach of the Milan-based Memphis design collective made some noise in the 1980s. Now, thirty years later, InterfaceFLOR is shaking things up again with Memphis inspired offerings. Union Avenue wears souped up black and white stripes bringing to mind a Joey Ramone t-shirt. And for cranked up volume and color that makes us want to sing, take a walk on Beale Street. Both products feature four distinct tile variations. The four variations within Union Avenue are all black and white stripes in varying widths. Beale Street adds bold color in varying stripes that can be easily customized using the 64 colorways of Monochrome™, a new solid companion.
