Lichen is the first floorcovering to achieve the International Living Future Institute's Living Product Challenge Petal certification. Designed by Jason F. McLennan-the founder of the Living Product Challenge-and his team at McLennan Design, Lichen is inspired by assemblages of multihued, multitextured lichens and their regenerative role in our ecosystem. Gold Award: Flooring: Hard Surface In response to customers' requests for hard surface visuals that go beyond wood grains and stones, Mohawk Group designed the Lineate enhanced resilient tile collection with gradated and striated textures. Cool and warm neutrals are combined with on-trend color pops that ebb and flow across the plank to give the illusion of depth on a flat surface. While easy to install, Lineate offers a complex aesthetic range with a wide range of installation possibilities.
