MARMOLEUM DUTCH DESIGN

Marmoleum Dutch Design is a range of Marmoleum flooring developed by 12 Dutch designers who were granted complete artistic freedom. Their inspiration was very personal: a favorite color, a shade with a great future or a color missing from the current ranges. The result is a collection of 12 unique colorings, 12 designs each telling their own story (colors are shown next to the Designers in the images of this article)

With a track record of over 100 years, Marmoleum has gained popularity among architects, designers and consumers all over the world. Made from natural ingredients, including linseed oil, rosin, wood flour and jute, Marmoleum is ideal for a variety of applications, including healthcare, education, corporate and retail - and residential usage. The intensity of its colors and its uncomplicated character ensure a floor that develops elegantly over time. Marmoleum Dutch Design is available in a thickness of 2.5mm with matching welding rods available for all designs.
