Elements range is Bolon's new flooring collection that harmoniously integrates the beauty of the natural world into interior spaces. The Elements range is discreet and versatile, serving as a bridge between objects and their surroundings. It highlights the positive impact of thoughtful design on our senses and overall well-being.

The Elements collection features a balanced, natural mélange of colors in various tones of beige and grey, inspired by nature. Its calm base colors and Scandinavian aesthetic make it an exceptional choice for diverse interiors. The collection captures the tonalities and textures of the natural environment. Each piece is woven with two warp threads in gray and beige, inspired by the warm, dusty blends found in nature. These are combined with weft threads that evoke natural elements such as linen, oak, ash, cork, birch, marble, walnut, flint, wool, and silk. The flooring showcases an artisanal appearance and a tactility reminiscent of linen.

Launched in February 2018 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Elements shares a nature-inspired narrative similar to Bolon's rug designs. Each of the ten styles is available in rolls or 50x50cm tiles, and the collection is crafted from a new Bolon Yarn known as the H-thread, offering both a soft, inviting look and durability against high foot traffic.

With a backing made from up to 33 percent recycled materials and an optional acoustic backing, Elements remains eco-friendly. Its key features include tightly woven, phthalate-free vinyl yarns, waterproof and fire-retardant barriers, and easy maintenance—most cleaning can be done with just water.

Bolon flooring is hypoallergenic, impervious to liquids, and devoid of exposed fibers, which minimizes the risk of mold spores and improves indoor air quality.

Easy to Clean

A key advantage is its simplicity in cleaning and maintenance. Most cleaning tasks can be easily handled with a vacuum cleaner and a scrubbing brush.

Eco-friendly Cleaning

During Bolon flooring’s long product lifecycle, 99% of the cleaning can be accomplished with only clean water.

Hypoallergenic

Bolon flooring is impervious to liquids and has no exposed fibers where dust, dirt, or debris can hide. The result is flooring with less risk for mold spores to thrive, contributing to better indoor air quality.
