Meet the Designers

Yinka Ilori

Carpet Flooring

Yinka Ilori MBE is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer whose bold visual language draws on his British-Nigerian heritage.

Yinka has been working with carpet; a heritage product for Tarkett, and a material of deep interest to Yinka for its use across global cultures when it comes to ritual activities - from eating to prayer, meditation and sleeping.

 Yinka’s showcase demonstrates how circular design and materials can transform a space’s capacity for reflection, wellbeing and joy. 

Laurids Gallée

Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring

Laurids Gallée is an Austrian designer based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, who creates distinctive, one-of-a-kind pieces that prioritise material and artistic expression over conventional functionality.

He has been working with Tarkett’s homogeneous vinyl flooring, a single-layer material with visual depth and exceptional durability.

When it comes to circularity, Laurids is interested in the notion that a product can be given longevity or permanence, to be cherished forever, because it has been created with a deep focus on quality craft and a belief that every material deserves to be elevated.  

Christian + Jade

Linoleum Flooring

​Christian Hammer Juhl and Jade Chan are a Danish-Singaporean design duo whose practice emphasizes slow, intentional craftsmanship.

They have been working with Tarkett linoleum, made from a blend of natural, renewable materials and appreciated for its beauty, comfort and durability.

Exploring the notion of circularity as a continuous and uninterrupted state, the duo have chosen to dissolve the distinction between floor, wall and furniture, reshaping what informs the design, form and function of the pieces.
