Modular Liquid Floor Tiles
B Lab Italia, a multicultural design laboratory located in Italy, is a primary manufacturer of alternative architectural and design materials worldwide. Their new line features an unconventional alternative to traditional flooring. The Modular Liquid Floor Tile is the newest innovative addition to the Living line, which also features a form of living glass and living table tops. The floor line, which is focused on creating a link to nature, is aimed to provide an atmosphere of fun and play. By applying pressure (or walking) on the tiles, it “creates play and movement of light stimulating sensations of nature and atmosphere”.According to the company, “The Mono-chromatic tiles leaves a diminishing ray of colors tones the memory trace of a footprint behind. The Bi-chromatic tile stimulates play with colors and forms in continuous evolution. Walking on a living floor is stimulates memories of nature like walking a sandy beach or across a green pasture.” [sic] The tiles are also available in varying materials, such as the simulated metal flooring which has elements of floating metal and allows you to inscript messages into the floor tiles which slowly diminish after a few minutes. B Lab products are currently only available through their website and limited retailers in Italy.
