Rediscover the Future of Flooring: Karta at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026
- KARTA-
“ Resilient flooring” has long been dominated by plastics and petrochemical compounds, materials that are carbon intensive to manufacture and complex to recover at end of life. Millions of square metres of these products are specified across commercial sectors each year, ever increasing the environmental burden on the planet.
Karta was developed to rewrite the narrative around commercial flooring. Founded within Ted Todd Group, and drawing on the wood flooring family’ s three decades of industry-leading material knowledge, the brand applies timber intelligence to modern innovation. Karta delivers a resilient surface engineered from circular materials, designed for contemporary commercial spaces, and built to perform without plastic.
Now entering its second year at Clerkenwell Design Week, Karta returns with strengthened momentum and revolutionary new developments. Following global recognition at the SBID International Design Awards 2025, attention turns firmly to what comes next: advancing circular specification, refining performance standards, and supporting architects and designers seeking credible alternatives to vinylled solutions.
Every floor in Karta’ s Recycled Leather Series diverts post-industrial leather offcuts from landfill, re- engineering them into a stable, durable core. A PEFCcertified wood fibre layer maximises timber yield from sawmill by-products, while a cork backing, harvested without felling a single tree, delivers acoustic comfort and removes the need for separate underlay.
Surface design is informed by a thirty-year archive of real timber. Using patented super-HD print technology, each plank captures authentic tone and grain variation with no recolours and no repeats within 20 boards. A plastic-free Karta Plated ® topcoat achieves AC5 durability, supporting use across high-traffic commercial environments as well as residential settings.
At Clerkenwell Design Week 2026, Karta will once again showcase the union of sustainability, specification confidence, and design intent in their 18-tone Recycled Leather Series – a re-engineered approach to resilient flooring grounded in heritage expertise and built for future standards.
