In the summer of 2019, the design team at Burmatex launched an updated version of the Tivoli range. The Tivoli collection features four designs (tivoli, online, multiline, mist) and is available in both carpet tiles and planks.

Below you will find some inspiring installations where we, and our customers, have used cut tiles in different ways!

So many of the images we capture for our Friday Flooring Favourites blog posts involve shadows of one character or another. This August, we have decided to dedicate a complete post to the subject. Tell us your favourite image!

The new burmatex carpet in this large office space is tivoli multiline. We love the creative approach to the installation method. This image, taken without any false light at all, totally accentuates the space available.

The shadow creates it’s own wedge of contrast. We are fascinated with the reflection off the high-gloss red surface..
