Tarkett Showroom to Celebrate Resonant Spaces

Tarkett, a global leader in flooring solutions, prepares to open the doors of its Chicago showroom located at 215 N. Peoria Street, Floor 10. The event is scheduled for June 9–11, 2025, coinciding with the much-anticipated Design Days in the city. This year's showcase will provide design professionals from around the world with an exclusive opportunity to delve into Tarkett's latest offerings, emphasizing its innovative product collection known as Resonant Spaces™.

The theme for this year's Design Days not only highlights new products but also emphasizes the intricate connection between people, space, and energy. Inspired by these elements, Resonant Spaces aims to enhance environments to foster creativity, focus, and overall well-being. The collection boasts three unique patterns available in nine calming color variations, all crafted on Tarkett's ethos® carpet tile backing, which emphasizes sustainability.

According to Omoleye Simmons, Tarkett's VP of Design, “We instinctively expect the spaces we spend time in to resonate with us in some way and provide a level of comfort.” The designs empower users to connect with their surroundings, creating spaces where individuals can feel comfortable, engage with others, and truly embrace their environment.

To enrich the experience for attendees, Tarkett will feature its Co.Lab™ interactive workshop within the showroom. Participants will be encouraged to tap into their creativity by crafting original artworks that embody their personal connection to space. Additionally, other notable displays will highlight elements from Tarkett's extensive portfolio, such as the Asthma Allergy Friendly® Certified Powerbond® RS hybrid carpet, the 2025 Johnsonite® Colors of the Year, and fresh profiles from the Johnsonite Millwork Wall Base® series.

Over the course of three days, the showroom will also serve as a hub for educational sessions and panel discussions led by influential voices in the design industry. The ICON in Education Design Awards, presented in partnership with Learning By Design, will honor agents of change who are innovating educational spaces.
