Colour Blocked
RENS X TARKETT
3 DAYSOFDESIGN
Studio RENS and Tarkett teamed up in 2022 to add a dash of colour
to 3DAYSOFDESIGN in Copenhagen.
With Colour Blocked, RENS presents the Re-vive carpet tiles in a spatial installation: flat square tiles are transformed into three-dimensional blocks.
The installation shows the many variations and possibilities of the Re-vive collection. Every quality and all the colours of the original carpet tiles fit perfectly together because they are united by the colour red.

RENS offers a new lease of life for Tarkett's carpet tiles. With the colourful Re-vive treatment obsolete collections of this functional and highly flexible product now come in myriad shades and gradients too.

RENS X TARKETT
The collaboration with Tarkett – an alliance in design, colour, and material research – started in 2014 with the unveiling of Re-vive Rugs with carpet producer Desso, a division of Tarkett.
This partnership resulted in the introduction of a commercially appealing yet remarkably sustainable range of carpet tiles in 2021: Re-vive Tiles. Building on this success, the partnership was extended in 2023 with the introduction of linoleum adventure Lino Undercover.
‘The collaboration with RENS proofs working with enthusiastic designers can be highly valuable. Their independent approach to our challenges has yielded surprising results. Using out-of-date carpets to create new, fresh designs gives our artisan products new aesthetic power and tells a truly valuable story.’
— Bernd van der Stouw, Manager Design & Development, Desso (Tarkett)
