The color range of Upon Common Ground celebrates five key habitats of Country: Desert, Saltwater, Rainforest, Freshwater, and Spinifex. Each palette features warm neutrals and subtle accent colors, capturing the essence and uniqueness of each region’s beauty.

Sandbank, Shallows, and Undulating Water draw inspiration from waterways, textured sands, and the mesmerizing layering effects of ripples in shallow and deep water. The seamless transition from the organic pattern in Sandbank to the elevated texture and color movement in Shallows and Undulating Water brings harmony to the collection.

Dry Bark encapsulates the wise and weathered character of tree bark, offering a versatile choice in both neutral and accent palettes, making it an excellent companion to the collection.

At the heart of Upon Common Ground lies Escarpment, the foundational style that beautifully captures the earthy details of centuries-old stone cliffs. This durable and dependable style proves ideal for large floorplate applications, embodying both beauty and practicality.

Through “Upon Common Ground,” Interface pays homage to Australia’s First Nations people and their profound connection to the land, crafting biophilic-inspired carpet tile designs that celebrate the innate beauty of the earth.

The collection is made with 100% recycled solution dyed nylon and is carbon neutral through our Carbon Neutral Floors programme.
