Interface Introduces Global Carpet Tile and LVT Collections Made for Timeless Interiors
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), the global flooring solutions company and leader in sustainability, today launched the Dressed Lines™ carpet tile and Lasting Impressions™ luxury vinyl tile (LVT) global collections. Both collections lean into the company's legacy of smart design, creating a complete design experience and bringing a modern lens to design classics with innovative patterns, constructions, and manufacturing processes. "Each offers a new perspective on tradition and a new chance to challenge the way we design and experience spaces." The Dressed Lines carpet tile collection is inspired by post-war modernism, reflected in its playful use of contrast and angular shapes. Lasting Impressions LVT offers a different take on timeless visuals, drawing on the traditional crafts of tatami and plaster artisans. These collections feature high-performing styles that connect to the past. 'Design is meant to tell a story. One that highlights nature, the human experience, and how we work, learn, and live together. That thinking inspired Dressed Lines and Lasting Impressions – two collections defined by distinct moments of the past that feel undeniably fresh today,' said Kelly Simcox, Head of Global Design at Interface. 'These collections are made for unmatched versatility, effortless coordination, and timeless interiors. They reflect the idea that modular flooring can be more and do more for our commercial spaces. Each offers a new perspective on tradition and a new chance to challenge the way we design and experience spaces.' Dressed Lines: Tailored and Timeless Dressed Lines is a fresh take on timeless designs, inspired by post-war modernism and 1950s fashion. It captures the essence of mid-century design, taking notes from pioneering designers like Anni Albers, Charles and Ray Eames, and Florence Knoll. The result is a tailored, crisp, and sharp collection, featuring sophisticated, small-scale, and high-contrast patterns made to reflect dress fabric. The collection features six styles with eight complementary color combinations ranging from warm neutrals to high-contrast accents. It includes: Goes Around™ and Comes Around™: The two foundational styles feature patterns that build on each other, bridging the gap between fashion and interiors with two distinct pinstripe looks reminiscent of formal wear. Both products are offered in 25 cm x 1 m formats. Angular Times™ and Accent Hour™: These products urge designers to go bolder, with angular patterns and pops of white accents that add extra dimension to the floorscape. They are offered in 25 cm x 1 m formats. Simple Does It™ and Positive Spin™: Both provide unmatched versatility, pairing texture and contrast with speckled and cubed designs made to round out interior spaces. These styles are available in 50 cm x 50 cm square formats. Dressed Lines, with its smart design, blends subtle, subdued patterns that work best in open areas with bolder, more complicated designs that emerge as the focal point in any space. It is also designed to coordinate effortlessly with the popular Third Space™ carpet tile collection that Interface launched in 2023. And with a low carbon footprint and superior performance benefits, the collection hits the highest marks for innovation, design, and climate progress. Lasting Impressions: A Fresh Take on Tradition The Lasting Impressions LVT collection captures the artisan aesthetic and elevates visuals of natural materials through bespoke detailing, celebrating irregularity and imperfection. With this collection, Interface meets the needs of today's commercial spaces, offering designers a woven-inspired LVT pattern with lots of visual texture and a plaster look designed to camouflage wear and tear. The collection includes two styles in a total of 12 traditional colorways – they are: Heirloom™: A new woven-inspired addition to Interface's LVT portfolio, it features visuals of tatami weaving – a fresh take on tradition. It is offered in a 25 cm x 1 m format in eight colorways. Plaster™: This style takes inspiration from hand-finishes and natural patinas, celebrating handmade irregularities. It is available in a 50 cm x 1 m format in four colorways.

Astronomers find 'Tatooine' planet orbiting two stars
The Brief Astronomers believe they've discovered a "Tatooine"-like planet orbiting two stars in a galaxy far, far away. The planet is orbiting two brown dwarfs, which are also known as failed stars. It's about 120 light years away from our solar system. If you're a "Star Wars" fan, you might be excited to learn scientists may have discovered a planet that's orbiting two stars, much like the fictional planet of "Tatooine." Dig deeper The planet is located about 120 light years away from our solar system, according to astronomers at the University of Birmingham, U.K. A light year is nearly 6 trillion miles, in case you were trying to convert the distance. The exoplanet appears to take an unusual path around two brown dwarf stars, circling at a right angle. Brown dwarfs are sometimes called failed stars because they're lighter than stars but are heavier than gas giant planets. The pair of brown dwarfs were first discovered years ago and scientists noticed that the twins eclipse each other so one is always partly blocked when seen from Earth. In a new analysis, researchers found that the brown dwarfs' motion was changing — a quirk that's less likely to happen if they circled each other on their own. The research was published in the journal Science Advances. The planet was discovered using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (LVT). Yes, there are actually several dozen planets that are orbiting two stars throughout the cosmos, scientists said. But the new planet's odd orbit sets it apart. Though it hasn't been directly spied on, scientists say more research is needed to be sure it's out there and figure out its mass and orbit. What they're saying "I wouldn't bet my life that the planet exists yet," said Simon Albrecht, an astrophysicist with Aarhus University who had no role in the new study. Probing these wacky celestial bodies can help us understand how conditions beyond our solar system may yield planets vastly different from our own, said study author Thomas Baycroft with the University of Birmingham. Planets circling twin stars "existed in sci-fi for decades before we knew that they could even really exist in reality," he said. The Source Information for this article was gathered from The Associated Press and a news release shared by the European Southern Observatory.
