Tessera Topology
76% recycled carpet tiles in Thrive matter carbon negative yarn — the highest in Tessera.

Topology carries 76% total recycled content, the highest figure of any Tessera range. It is made in Thrive® matter by Universal Fibers® — a 100% solution dyed nylon 6 with 90% recycled content that the fibre producer describes as carbon negative.
700 g/m² over 6.4mm in a multi-pile-height loop, with 27 dB impact sound reduction and a continuous castor chair rating. This is not a lightweight eco compromise — it is one of the denser tiles Tessera makes.
Thirteen colourways. Where a project has both a recycled-content threshold and a real durability brief, Topology and its sister range Twine are the two Tessera products that answer both without argument.
