As Interface continues to shape the conversation around sustainability and biophilic design, their latest launch—the Lost Palms collection—highlights their dedication to both innovation and environmental responsibility. Alongside this launch, they reaffirm their commitment to driving the flooring industry toward a more sustainable future, as highlighted on this issue’s front cover.
For Interface, sustainability is more than just a goal—it’s a guiding principle embedded in their processes, products, and aspirations. Over the past 30 years, Interface has made dramatic progress to reduce their carbon emissions across their products, operations, and supply chain. This includes advancements in product design, manufacturing processes, raw material sourcing, and collaboration with suppliers and partners. Today, Interface offers the lowest carbon footprint carpet tile products on the market globally, based on publicly available emissions data provided in Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
With this ongoing vision in mind, Interface proudly introduces Lost Palms, a collection inspired by the rugged beauty of the American Southwest’s desert landscapes. Their design philosophy celebrates nature’s organic textures and forms, while remaining committed to their core focus on sustainability.
Lost Palms: Invite a rugged desert landscape indoors.
Lost Palms invites you to bring the majesty of the desert indoors. Inspired by the naturally occurring patterns of Joshua trees, expansive rock formations, and the cracked stones that define the American Southwest, this collection delivers a sense of grandeur, reminiscent of standing before these iconic landscapes.
The biophilic designs are scaled larger than life to truly capture the raw beauty of nature. Available in two versatile tile sizes—1m x 1m and 50cm x 1m—these oversized formats allow for a striking visual impact in any space. The natural motifs are both grounding and inspiring, with each product in the collection taking on its own unique interpretation of the desert’s textures and forms.
Go big. Go biophilic.
The Lost Palms collection features six distinct styles, each channelling different aspects of the Southwest landscape:
- Jumbo Rock, Cap Rock, and Keys View styles provide a smoother, lower profile that channels the less-rugged formations polished by erosion.
- Desert Veins reveals a more textured, cracked surface that evokes the dramatic topography of desert landscapes. The interplay of light and shadow within the design brings a dynamic quality to the flooring, making it perfect for high-traffic areas where bold design is desired.
- Ribbon Rock unearths the most depth with its super-plush pile and clear marbling.
- Desert Ranch, the collection’s accent product, ushers in classic, American southwest motifs, shifting the colour palette into earthier tones, completing the Lost Palms collection’s homage to nature.
Each product within the collection is available in cool and warm grey colourways, ensuring versatility across various design palettes. Whether aiming to create a sleek, minimalist look or a more textured, organic feel, the Lost Palms collection provides a foundation for creativity while enhancing the well-being of occupants through its biophilic inspiration.

Significant progress has been made over the years, but their work is far from over. Interface focuses on avoiding, reducing, and storing carbon in alignment with the latest climate science. Through ongoing research and development, they seek to lower emissions, increase recycled content, and explore bio-based materials.
