Marco B (Design Architect) who enjoys designing in the pink said “I really like the dynamic feel created by the lines in the Nest design. In order to be able to incorporate it into my plans, I asked Gerflor to change the colour.

With these designs, architects and specifiers can take a trip down memory lane while retaining a resolutely modern atmosphere with a distinct character. Lines and patterns that take the best from the past to create eye-catching designs.
