Interior rooms are identified by their boundaries. In design, the architects and interior designers play with furniture and these boundaries to give the room an impression through its walls, ceiling, floor and partitions. When selectingthe flooring, even though it is not highlighted at eye-level, it surprisingly plays an important part to evoke the senses.
Therefore, since the beginning of the Renaissance, between early 15th and 17th century, people started to design the ‘Floor Plan’. These days, beside having a good appearance, the floor has to be innovated in order to be of better quality and answering the global demands of rising standards. For over sixty years, a Swedish family company named Bolon, found a way to make quality flooring. It was started when Nils-Erik Eklund took advantage of wasted textile and made it into rag rugs in 1949. Consciously reducing waste was what was on in his mind long before it became thefashion.
This company has been inherited by the third generation of Eklunds. Bolon keeps their consistency in making floor finishes that has the awareness of environment and user in tact. They determined their products to have the finest raw materials, modern PVC and naphthalene free with less waste and environmental impact. It offers fire resistance and improved impact sound insulation. For the maintenance, the products require no dangerous chemicals or harmful cleaning routines and can be cared for with Eco-friendly and neutral cleaning agents. This Sweden-made brand also goes along with the current organic lifestyle movement to discontinue and even to recover the world from further damage.
Bolon is now much more than something to walk on. It is also a palette of fashion in interior design and architecture, and a nature-aware lifestyle product. It gives a chance for people to have green under their feet – in multiple color options with 3D effects, patterns and colors.
