NEW YORK—Philips, a global leader in lighting, and Tandus Centiva, a Tarkett company and leader in North American flooring, recently announced a partnership to launch Luminous Carpets, a patented solution, in the North American market. The seamless integration of LED and carpet into the commercial interior design market creates a unique and intuitive medium with flexible and dynamic content; changing a carpeted floor into a messaging tool capable of informing, directing and inspiring people.

This breakthrough innovation combines LED lighting by Philips with specially developed light transmissive carpet by Desso. Successfully launched and proven in Europe, Tandus Centiva now introduces Luminous Carpets in North America. Both Desso and Tandus Centiva are Tarkett companies.

Using the floor as a communication medium by integrating the use of lighting, a unique and intuitive experience has been created that is subdued and is visible only when needed. The solution is designed for virtually any interior, from small spaces to high traffic areas. Linked to an emergency system, Luminous Carpets can even direct those in need in case of an emergency. It is available in different colors, shapes and sizes—enabling a highly flexible application of the new technology.

“Finally we can cater to the many requests we received from the United States since our European launch in 2014,” says Dr. Bernd Voelpel, Venture Manager Luminous Carpets at Philips Lighting. “In Europe we have completed a number of successful projects and proved the added value of Luminous Carpets. We are excited to start this partnership with one of the leading carpet players in North America.”

“Tandus Centiva is thrilled to launch Luminous Carpets in the North American market,”says Mausi McDaniel, Vice President of Marketing at Tandus Centiva. “Continuing on the forefront of innovation, this partnership reflects Philips and Tandus Centiva’s common goal to create meaningful solutions, while bringing a new level of design freedom to architects, designers and end-users.”
