Tarkett's Chicago showroom celebrates Resonant Spaces during Design Days 2025

SOLON, Ohio, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global flooring manufacturer Tarkett will open its Chicago showroom doors (215 N. Peoria Street, Floor 10) to design professionals from around the world during Design Days, June 9–11. Attendees to the commercial interior design event will get an exclusive look at Tarkett's newest initiatives and product collections, including its most anticipated workplace carpet tile collection of the year, Resonant Spaces™. 

Inspired by the invisible threads that tie together people, space and energy, Resonant Spaces provides the foundation for comfortable interiors that support heightened creativity, deepened focus and lifted spirits. The collection features three harmonious patterns in nine soothing colorways—all available on Tarkett's fully circular ethos^® carpet tile backing.

"We instinctively expect for the spaces we spend time in to resonate with us in some way and provide a level of comfort," said Omoleye Simmons, Tarkett's vice president of design. "The styles in this collection reveal the incredible power and influence of our surroundings in creating comfortable spaces where we can be our true selves, engage with others and enjoy that space."

To offer Design Days attendees a closer connection to the collection, Tarkett will once again host its fan-favorite Co.Lab™ experience. The interactive maker space will encourage participants to create original artworks that resonate with them and reveal invisible "energies."

Also on display throughout the showroom will be signature products from across Tarkett's broader portfolio, including Asthma & Allergy Friendly^® Certified Powerbond^® RS hybrid carpet, the 2025 Johnsonite^® Colors of the Year, new Johnsonite Millwork Wall Base^® profiles and much more.
