Dedicated to architects and designers, l’Atelier Tarkett Paris is a warm and unique place to collaborate and co-create. The concept emerged from the collaboration between Tarkett, a flooring solution manufacturer and “studio 5.5”. The place has been designed to reveal the creative potential of the flooring solutions designed by Tarkett.

With this new address located in central Paris, the brand offers architects, decorators, and designers a new inspirational working space. From the very beginning, their purpose was to design a space that would be an extension of the architects’ office, where they would enjoy working, coming back, and spending some time not only to get samples, but also to be inspired, to boost their creativity and to use flooring as a new field of expression.

Beyond the rehabilitation of this former jewellery workshop, the Atelier was created in collaboration with studio 5.5 to go beyond the notion of showroom and create a place where professionals can experience the Tarkett brand.

The Atelier is a demonstration of Tarkett flooring solutions, staged with originality and audacity. Profiling the distinctive steps of architects’ projects – discovery, inspiration and execution – the Atelier Tarkett is comprised of flexible spaces to carry products and services: a library, a lab, digital tools, meeting rooms, a kitchen… Each functional space has its own identity, with distinctive colors, materials, and atmospheres, all in line with its specific purpose.

To show materials with a different angle and present Tarkett collections in a different way, 5.5 imagined « catalog-objects »: some furniture and interior design elements were created based on materials manufactured by Tarkett. They used material in an alternative way on walls, furniture, lighting in order to free the visitor’s creativity and open new development opportunities. Nothing could be better than making the materials alive to reveal its potential.
