Mohawk Group Unveils Pathmakers Collection: Biophilic Design Inspired by the Power of Bees

Calhoun, GA. — Mohawk Group, a leading global flooring manufacturer, unveils Pathmakers, a new carpet plank collection inspired by the interconnected journeys and hives of bees. Pathmakers embodies the concept of biophilic design, fostering a sense of connection between people and the natural world, while prioritizing environmental responsibility.

Inspired by Nature, Designed for Well-being
The Pathmakers collection draws inspiration from the intricate structures of beehives and the open fields where bees forage. The collection features four unique styles, each available in a 12-inch x 36-inch plank format, offering a palette of calming taupe, gray, and blue.

  • Concrete Bloom: Mimics the organic, bark-like texture of a beehive's exterior.
  • Pollinator Path: Layers a subtle hexagonal design, echoing the natural honeycomb pattern.
  • Gentle Ground: Provides a quiet, crosshatched texture, reminiscent of open fields. 
  • Buzzing Trails: Creates a softly linear design, representing the bee's path of pollination.

These styles can be used individually or combined to create dynamic zones and transitions within a space, catering to diverse needs.

Sustainable Innovation for a Healthy Planet
The Pathmakers collection goes beyond aesthetics, prioritizing environmental responsibility. The collection is:

  • Red List Free and Living Product Challenge Petal Certified: Promoting human and environmental health.
  • Manufactured with Duracolor Tricor™ Fiber on EcoFlex™ ONE Backing: Enhancing comfort, sound absorption, and durability.
  • Beyond Carbon Neutral: 100 Percent carbon neutral with a 5 percent offset for a net-positive impact on the planet. 
  • Made with Recycled Content: Pathmakers utilizes a minimum of 74 percent recycled content, diverting plastic waste from landfills.
  • Responsibly Manufactured: Pathmakers features the lowest water consumption of any carpet tile on the market. 

“Pathmakers reflects Mohawk Group’s dedication to biophilic design principles,” said Mark Page, vice president of design for Mohawk Group. “By drawing inspiration from nature and prioritizing sustainability, Pathmakers creates nurturing spaces that connect people to the natural world and promote well-being.”
