Tactility Collection for Luum Textiles With a focus on enhancing intuitive, emotional and sensorial experience, Luum Textiles introduces the Tactility Collection—materials created to support architecture that slow down experience, halt time and defend the importance of the human experience. The collection explores textural and dimensional surfaces that influence the way we experience touch, sight and sound. Through multi-purpose and multi-directional fabrics that respond to both our logical and intuitive needs, the collection embodies emotional design thinking expressed through a comprehensive color palette. The Tactility Collection by Suzanne Tick explores the diversity and expressive nature of a surface through fiber, structure, color, pattern and dimension. The collection offers new classics, modernized through pattern and color. Patterns and constructions are inspired by time-honored textile techniques, such as quilting, moire effects and spinning. The palettes reflect a more nuanced and experimental approach to color by offering a broader selection of softer shades and tech-inspired brights.
Arc Angle by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles Dimension is the key to warming up an environment. Arc Angle nods to tradition by applying quilting through a contemporary lens. Using performance materials and industrial machinery, Arc Angle softens space with a technical objective. Multi-purpose, multi-directional and customizable, Arc Angle succeeds Navigate from the Focus In Collection as an evolution in material hybridization. The grid is softened and deconstructed with curvilinear stitching, that fades and intensifies. Nylon stitching merges a Heather Tech base cloth with non-woven polyester. The result is a highly tactile, dimensional product.
Equilux by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles Equilux’s large-scale pattern is a graphic interpretation of a classic moire effect. Layered grid patterns create dynamic movement, mimicking light passing through a geometric facade. The subtle transition between matte wool and lustrous rayon gives equal significance to natural and synthetic fibers. Wool content feeds an emotional and sensorial desire for connection to the natural world, while the integration of synthetic fibers reflects our relationship to the built environment.
Superspun by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles As weavers, yarn acts like a building block of textile structure. Superspun’s substantial weave integrates woven structure with dynamic combinations of uniquely spun yarns. Two types of polyester fiber are blended and spun in a multitude of variations for heightened tactility and visual texture. Inspired by this yarn, weave structures were developed to showcase the complex texture and color in this cross-dye fabric.
Interstice by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles Interstice highlights the intricate relationship between color and structure. This multi-color texture is created through a precise approach to color developed at the yarn level. The eye perceives distinct colors in the warp and weft resulting in visual texture. Through the use of fine bouclĂŠs in high-performance fibers, the interaction of color and weave creates a refined visual tactility. Technical brights combine with muted colors and neutrals to create complex and often unexpected colors for a versatile palette.
Formation and Formation Transition
modular carpet by Suzanne Tick for Tandus Centiva
Ready for anything. We can design for anything, with modular spaces that remain constantly fluid, movable furniture that quickly invites a larger group, and patterns that are more multi-purpose and flexible. Formation introduces an organic visual texture that responds to this need for less site-specific interior surfaces. Used in combination with Formation Transition, the two styles work together to create color shifts—and bold impressions—across large-scale, open expanses. Designing for large scale amenities. As once disparate segments continue to blend and influence each other, commercial spaces deliver a variety of functions and services for the people who live and work in them everyday. The hospitality industry has lent a sense of luxury and at home comfort to workplace and healthcare settings. Corporate headquarters and hotels are now offering a comprehensive suite of amenities—from wellness services to open cafés and lounge areas to rooftop gardens—creating an entire community within a single building. As the needs for these spaces grow and shift, so do our patterns for the floor. Fluid space, shifting purpose. Formation Transition provides a unique toolset for designers to demarcate space through color shifts on the floor plane, without the need for permanent panels, walls and partitions. Its reductive design is created with a unique thread-up of shifting yarn colors, causing a morphing of areas where the pattern is more defined, to areas that bring a softer interplay. The resulting gradual interchange of color is similar to the way landscapes shift from color to neutral and back again. A fluidity that lends itself to co-orking spaces, team collaboration and a general coming together of all who wish to be a part. To support these new variations of a floorplan, Formation’s color palette is comprised of warm and cool neutrals in light, medium and dark tones, providing a diverse range of color-shifting options. The palette also includes a soothing green to facilitate contemplation, plus a deep blue, lively yellow, bright teal blue, and a bold red to give energy and branding opportunities.
Scale Study Series
by Suzanne Tick for Tandus Centiva
With the proliferation of large open spaces to live and work, there is a revival of socialist architecture and new incarnations of the Brutalist movement, featuring innovative surface treatments for glass and concrete—and inspiring the creation of a new soft surface design. This spatial openness has also created a necessity for shifts in scale on our interior patterns and textiles. The Scale Study Series responds to this with four products that go from large to small—creating a back and forth relationship between open, collaborative spaces and more private offices. Modular carpet tile and Powerbond constructions in which scale and color emerge from texture was the initial spark of inspiration for this collection, capturing the unique aesthetic of bold colors trapped within grooves of the carpet. The diverse color palette includes light, medium and dark greys, a warm beige, a rich chocolate, a jewel-toned navy, and unique grey/red and grey/blue colorations that are perfect for corporate branding and higher education facilities.
Correlate is a plush Colorpoint tile in which refracted angles and planes of tip-sheared yarns and speckled loops interact in surprising configurations. Continuum is composed of sectional ridges, encapsulating various tonal textures, and can be available as both carpet tile and Powerbond. A recolor of the classic Metri was added as a coordinate texture.

Luxury Vinyl Tile

Available August 2018
Filament
LVT by Suzanne Tick for Tandus Centiva
Scale Study Series also includes an LVT with angular lines of softly shifting planar surfaces over a subtle micro-texture, rounding out the collection with a hard surface option that is manufactured using digital printing technology. Filament is informed by materials used in manufacturing and architecture as pattern inspiration. In the same way that the works of Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry have brought folded metal planes into the vernacular of modern architecture, Filament shifts the planes of the floor using precise computer-generated imagery. Filament is available in three colorways—a light warm neutral, medium and dark grey— to suit a range of moods and functions, and each has a direct color coordinate in the Scale Study Series.
Substrate
LVT by Suzanne Tick for Tandus Centiva
This recolor of the classic Substrate, an intuitive material for the floor, was developed with the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi in mind. A durable luxury vinyl tile that brings the look of textile scrim to the floor in an enduring format will delight people with its unique look of perfect imperfection. Three new light neutrals have been introduced to meet market needs and serve as airy coordinating textures for Broadcloth and Filament.
Broadcloth
LVT by Suzanne Tick for Tandus Centiva
Broadcloth was inspired by textile manufacturing, the pattern resultant of many different products cut to size by the same equipment, embedding and combining fragments of yarn to impart a textile-like visual. This product is a digitally printed LVT creating a high resolution, dimensional, industrial-inspired texture and pattern. Each of the three colors features a different depth of neutral textured ground and non-directional multi-colored accents that highlight the mechanical marks of the perceived texture.
