Believe it or not this is actual wood flooring. It is oiled oak herringbone paronet brick flooring. Instead of using long strips of wood like usual wood flooring, they use pieces about a foot long in a herringbone pattern to create this look. This particular room has a 15 color palette. The special flooring with be in London until November 24, 2009 as part of a frieze art fair. In design, my professors have always taught me that people dont look at the floor, but what if you MAKE them look. The multicolored flooring would also help keep the dust and stains to a minimum, which is another concern in design with flooring, espeically in commercial flooring materials. This is a fun, colorful, and durable solution.
