Bolon is currently repositioning itself in the German-speaking region. First stop: Berlin. 1/18/2022 ![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_1410xAUTO_crop_center-center_82_none/b_Bolon_Berlin_Showroom_01.jpg) Photo: Franz Grünewald, Bolon [Bolon](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/bolon) recently opened a spacious showroom for woven vinyl flooring on the fourth floor of a new building in Berlin's Friedrichstrasse, right in the heart of the metropolis. There, the Swedish family-owned company offer excellent insights into its broad flooring collection and vividly demonstrates how easily Bolon's products lend each surface its own signature character. Visitors to the showroom will be equally impressed by the details and fine structures that quite literally lie at their feet. Prime examples being the neutral elegance in soft shades that [Patricia Urquiola](https://www.stylepark.com/en/designer/patricia-urquiola) has lent the “[Light Sashiko](https://www.stylepark.com/en/bolon/bolon-by-patricia-urquiola-light-sashiko)” and that can be discovered in the front area in the guise of Bolon Rug. On the other hand, strong contrasts are possible with the “Wing” floor tile which allows several collections of Bolon to be combined thereby creating an architectural effect. At the same time, the examples show how extensive the possibilities are for using geometric shapes to give products an individual appearance - as with “[Artisan - Quartz](https://www.stylepark.com/en/bolon/artisan-quartz)” on large-area rolled goods, from hexagonal patterns through to triangular ensembles. All Bolon floorings combine superb robustness with a pleasant textile feel, which makes them suitable for use in a wide range of environments, be it in offices, hotels or private homes. ![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_690xAUTO_crop_center-center_82_none/b2_Bolon_PressImage_RubenHutschemaekers_02-Kopie_2022-05-03-131038_qgyq.jpg) Photo: Franz Grünewald, Bolon ![](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_690xAUTO_crop_center-center_82_none/b3_Bolon_PressImage_RubenHutschemaekers_02-Kopie-Kopie.jpg) Bolon's showroom in Berlin is just the beginning of a new service offering: Annica and Marie Eklund, who are the third generation of family members to run the company, having taken the helm in 2003, defined a transparent sales strategy for Bolon together with the German distribution team that offers customers a high-quality product combined with comprehensive service. Pricing information, availability and features should be visible at a glance. Simultaneously, a partner program will ensure steady installation costs paired with the best possible quality. On top of this Bolon has made a commitment: “By 2028, all the flooring we produce will have half the climate impact of today. We have a dedicated department headed by Håkan Nordin, a biochemist and co-founder of Greenpeace Sweden. And we are working with Håkan to find innovative solutions for new materials, circular take-back programs for our products and optimized installation processes," says Annica Erklund. "That commitment has remained constant in our company goals," she adds. After all, Bolon's very first product was ahead of its time: a rag rug made from textile waste, introduced in 1949. Bolon operates its own material recovery facility and uses material in all its collections. The company produces a softener based on vegetable raw materials. "Our objective is to supply a comprehensive range of floor coverings and not simply one product," says Marie Eklund. This includes short distances – all of the company’s departments, from production to development, are housed under a single roof in Ulricehamn, Sweden, near Gothenburg. Bolon's great expertise, the support within the family, and the progressive mindset together make a good fit for a large, vibrant city that itself unites tradition and the future: So Berlin offers promising prospects for Bolon in every regard. “We want people to get to know our company as a whole when they visit us,” says Annica Eklund.
