On Tuesday, April 14, 2015 from 5-8 PM, FLOR will host FLOR’s National Design Challenge 2015 and will give customers a chance to come to the store and design a sample rug, win their creation and have it added to the upcoming FLOR line for everyone to own as well.
This is the first creative competition sponsored b FLOR, manufacturer and marketer of design-inspired, eco-friendly carpet tiles and it is being launched at their Dallas store located at 45 McKinney Avenue.
Who can enter? From designers to inspiring designers to everyone in between – really anyone looking to infuse some creativity into their flooring.
FLOR offers more than 600 individual carpet squares for consumers to use to create original rug designs. FLOR is inviting customers to visit the Dallas store on April 14 from 5-8 PM to assemble a small-scale version of a FLOR rug using 30 sample-sized carpet tiles.
For the competition, FLOR will have more than 400 sample tiles available for consumers to work with and design their own unique entry.
The event will also feature a meet-and-greet with award-winning designer Robin Wilson, who will be on hand signing copies of her just-released book, Clean Design: Wellness for your Lifestyle
Wilson, along with FLOR employees, will select the top rug design submitted that night. FLOR will host similar events at 10 FLOR store locations: Austin, New York City, Houston, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Portland.
Wilson will be at all of the events signing copies of her new book and helping to select the top rug designs. The 11 finalists will win an 8 x 10 version of their rug design (retail value $900).
From July 6 through July 15, the 11 finalists’ rugs will be posted on www.FLOR.com/designchallenge where anyone is invited to log on and vote for their favorite design. The top vote-getter will see their rug in a future FLOR line.
In addition, 50 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of the rug will go to a charity of the winner’s choice (in collaboration with FLOR).
The winner will also have the opportunity to name the rug, which will be on display at select FLOR retail stores across the country.
