FLOR is an innovative manufacturer of modular carpet tiles, which come in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures, some suitable for office use, some for home. Oddly enough, two of their latest kits, entitled Hello Down There and Be My Neighbor, focus on cities and suburbs!

FLOR should really commission Seyed Alavi for a design similar to the carpet installation in the Sacramento International Airport.

i had FLOR tiles for a while and they sucked. they kept coming unstuck from the floor. if you get them, tape them together with carpet tape and use it like a rug.
I really love the idea of FLOR — the fact that it’s all modular, that they’ll accept and recycle used tiles, the color and pattern options, etc. But, I’ve heard complaints similar to yours, the price is actually fairly high for the office-type look, and I don’t think I could commit to any of their choices. The two I’ve noted here are kind of cool, but I’d never live with them!
You’ve hit my weak spot again. These are uber cool.
Randy, I think your home needs me as its personal shopper.
