Systematic change

What makes a room adaptable? It can be the movable wall, the pull-out couch – and sometimes simply the floor beneath our feet. Those who design spaces today for tomorrow often think in terms of interfaces, atmospheres and phases of use. Offices become social hubs, hotels become versatile meeting zones, shops become stages for experiences. Multifunctional spaces are no longer an exception, but a response to new ways of working, an expression of ecological responsibility – and a reflection of the need for spatial well-being.

A central, often underestimated element of this versatility is the floor covering. It not only influences the acoustics and feel of a room, but also structures it subtly and visually. Carpet tiles play a key role here: modular, easy to replace and versatile in terms of design.

Modular floor coverings make it possible to organise areas functionally – without any structural interventions. Colours, textures and patterns define zones: a softly structured covering invites you to linger, geometric accents mark work areas, contrasting colour fields guide the flow of movement. This creates orientation, promotes interaction – and also takes into account neurodiverse needs.

The acoustic properties of carpet tiles are particularly relevant for open-plan concepts. They absorb noise where concentration is required and at the same time support a pleasant soundscape in communicative zones. In this way, the floor becomes an active medium in interior design - not only functionally, but also emotionally.

With the Plus design concept, modulyss shows that function and aesthetics go hand in hand: four collections – Monos, Artus, Forma and Textura - form a variable set that adapts to the requirements of a wide variety of rooms. From subtle tone-on-tone arrangements to bold graphic statements, combinations are created that not only structure the room but also characterise its identity.

A sustainable space is not only designed for the moment – it also includes its material balance. This is why ‘ecoBACK PLUS’ is at the centre of the Plus concept: an innovative back system that consists of 85% recycled and bio-based materials, reduces CO2 emissions during transport and is fully recyclable. Easy to handle and durable in use, it fulfils the requirements of modern room concepts - ecologically, ergonomically and economically.

Whether co-working space or hotel lounge, retail or cultural centre – multifunctional spaces thrive on flexibility. Carpet tiles from modulyss show how well thought-out floor design becomes the basis for an adaptive, sustainable understanding of space. Because sometimes change starts exactly where we don't expect it: beneath our feet.
