Our Goal
Do the right thing, by choosing to use propermaterials with nature in mind.
Crowded cities and their busy traffic can be
stressful but are a certain part of most commuters’ everyday lifestyle.
To balance it out, we bring nature into people’slife, employing a number of methods, using natural materials, natural patterns or simply natural colors.

VOXFLOR® is always looking forward to new solutions
and advanced technologies to improve its productsin every direction, especially exploring green resources andenviroinmentally friendly innovations.
This is the reason which gave us the opportunity to develop
a partnership with DuPont™ to produce a low environmental impact and eco-friendly product, with some of the best
features in the commercial flooring industry.
We are proud that our carpet tiles could represent a milestone in the development of a new, sustainable approach tothe whole Interior Design market.
Sustainability is essential and striving to achieve high levels
is our goal.

2VOXFLOR® has faith in sustainable, recyclable
and reusable materials, because those are whatmake difference.
Pollution is a problem that needs battling
and VOXFLOR® is on the front.
Sustainability is the way to go and we agree.
Putting in place ecologically produced materials
in our home, takes us a step closer into the wild,
unnoticed places, while bringing balance.
In this edition, we explore an alternative.
Make a difference. Corn or Fossil? Corn,of course. Why? Simple. Pure, Stain Resistant,
Exceptionally soft, oil resistant and durable.

BEAUT YOFGLACIER

HOW ABOUT A‘GLACIER ’ LIFEST YLE ?
Untouched, elegant and pure.
These words can describe both a millennial
cover of high mountain snow frost and the carpet tiles of GLACIER Collection.
Delicate patterns, soft and bright colors express the elegance ofa high class space, which only a few can access.
The Collection is made up of two products, Arctik and Ice Field,
which can have a separate existance or can be easily mixed
together, since both of them come in 24 different shades of white,
beige and gray.
Arctik presents a thicker pile with a stronger texture to offer moredetailed and first-class appeal; meanwhile, Ice Field has shorter
loops to guarantee extended durability in traffic areas with a calmand plain look.

In this Arctik Collection, there are multiple choices of cold and warm colors.
We are very excited to leave different
combinations to your imagination. It iscalm, elegant, comfortable. A touchof torn texture gives the impression ofvibrance into the flooring.
As Barry Loperz, the author of the“Arctic dreams”, said,
I felt a calmness birds can bring topeople; and quieted,
I sensed here the outlines of the oldest
mysteries:
the nature and extent of space, the fallof light from the heavens, the pooling oftime in the present, as if it were water.

Icefield has a strong and pure
impact, since this collection isintended to be less texured, but
provides comfort in a very simple
way, so that we can focus on
more details
It is modest,so the feeling of the design can beachieved in many circumstances.

N AT U R A L C O Z I N E S S
IN A PURE SPIRITIn a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike.
And no two journeys along the same path are alike.
With these simple words Paulo Coelho sums up why nature is so
attractive, unique and full of inspiration.
The design aims to reproduce the mystic feeling of an enchanted
forest, where all the elements are single and unreapetable. This
concept inspires dream of FOREST: its fully seamless patterncreates unique tiles every time, for exclusive and elegant environments.
This collection is composed of five different products, united by
the same concept of natural pattern inspiration.
Crooked Forest, Waipova Forest, Caddo Lake, Daintree andSchwarzwald share the same color range with piece dyed, which
is set by 3 different natural beige and gray tones, to represent at
its best the simple complexity of natural beauty.
20THE
CHARM
OFFORESTThe Black Forest, this is the
English translation of the original German name, is locatedin the deep heart of Europe. Its
principal characteristic is given
by its evergreen trees growing
all over the mountainous region.
So, the design inspiration is takenfrom the pine trees bark texture,
which, due to the tree density of thearea, immediately gets impressed inyour eyes as soon as you get there.

The tropical rainforest ecosystem of the Daintree Rainforest is one of the mostcomplex on Earth. Its plant diversity and structural complexity is unrivalled on
the Australian continent and represents the origins of other Australian flora.

A natural sanctuary in New Zeland, with two of the tallest trees in the world, hasbeen the vision, which defined this product pattern, where sequences of different
pile height stripes recreate the forest skyline effect.

FOREST-Croocked Forest 02
This product takes its roots from the famous polish forest, wherethe little twirl of the tree bases increase the density perception ofthe trunks in the lower side to rise thinner towards the top.

The area of Caddo Lake in Texas,inspired the design of this pattern,where the wetlands get mixed withthe forest, creating areas of different density, fading softly from one
into the other, generating a quiet,calm, but continuous movement .

HOW ABOUT A‘GREEN’ LIFEST YLE ?
Derived from nature, designed for performance.

DuPont™ Sorona®
Sorona ® fiber is the newest innovation from DuPont™
and one of the first bio-based textile polymers todemonstrate highly desirable technical and life
cycle advantages for a wide range of products fromapparel to carpets. It contains 37% renewably
sourced ingredients by weight, reducing dependency
on oil and petrochemical-based feedstocks.

Green features
The production of Sorona® uses 30% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emission by63% compared to the production of an equal amount of nylon 6. When compared to an equal amount of nylon
6.6, production of Sorona® uses 40% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 57%.

Carbohydrate cropseg.corn,sugar beets

THE PROCESS
Renewable agricultural raw materials such as corn, castor seeds and non-food biological materials fermentation method
is used to replace petroleum petrochemical method, and glucose is converted into bio-based BIO-PDO and PTA byDupont® professional biological method to form Sorona®. Thus, helping this industry to reduce its dependence on petroleum-based products, the impact on environment, and the products have innovative anti-pollution features.

· High carbohydrate efficiency brings
low land use· High performance and scalable
using exisiting technology· Wide variety of applications· Valuable co-products· Built-in emergency reserve
Natural fiber crops
eg.cotton,flax,beech,
bambooThe process begins
by harvesting crops.

· Can be resource intensive - high water,
and/ or energy use

Sugar, or glucose, is extracted from the crops.

Microorganisms are added
to the glucose to begin a fermentation process (similar tothe production of alcohol).

· Land intensive· Lower perfomance in use· Limited applications
Fossil fuels
eg.crude oil· Non-renewable· Environmental and public healthimpacts from extraction and use

44

TPA (terephthalic acid) isadded to the Bio-PDO,
creating a molecular bond.

Fermentation replaces chemical synthesis, producing PDO (1,3-Propanediol)in a natural way.
