Tessera Contour

Contour is the hybrid in the Tessera range — a multi-height construction that mixes cut pile and loop pile in the same tile. The cut sections absorb light and read rich; the loops reflect it and read crisp. The pattern is the contrast between them.

100% polyamide 6.6 at 580 g/m² and 6.3mm, with 66% total recycled content — among the highest in the Tessera catalogue. Polyamide 6.6 has a tighter molecular structure than PA6 and resists abrasion and crushing accordingly.

Thirteen colourways. Cut-and-loop is worth specifying where a floor needs visible design intent but still has to take continuous castor chair traffic — it gives you the surface interest of a cut pile without committing the whole floor to one.
