Bolon, the pioneering Swedish contract flooring brand, is striking a bold new chord with Riff, a collection inspired by the repetition and flow of a musical riff. The
result is a design language that is precise yet organic—intricate up close but soothing from afar. “In this concept, we want to showcase that rhythm by letting the communication unfold to a beat. Tempo, rhythm, flow, and pulse. Let’s interpret that energy and turn it into visuals—a modern, snappy, happy, concept full of energy and emotion. On beat and on point,” said Annica Eklund, Chief Creative Officer at Bolon.
The collection’s distinctive 3D effect creates a playful shimmer as carefully curated colors reflect light across a refined palette of black, beige, and grey. These versatile neutrals are designed to amplify surrounding tones, giving designers the freedom to create both striking contrasts and subtle harmonies.
Exclusively available as a tiles-only collection, Riff offers beauty with practicality—easy to repair, reuse, and recycle. The design performs equally well in seamless monolithic installations or in creative quarter-turn layouts that accentuate Bolon’s unique light-play qualities.
The 16 colorways include: Blackish Taupe, Blackish Rose, Blackish Red, Blackish Brown, Blackish Chrome, Blackish Mint, Blackish Marine, Blackish Teal, Greyish Rose, Greyish
Mint, Greyish Metal, Greyish Teal, Naturelle Yellow, Naturelle Chrome, Naturelle Red, and Naturelle Green.
