Forbo's 'Furniture Linoleum' collection was unveiled in a new color palette during Milan Design Week 2025, showcasing its sustainable surface material at the Rosanna Orlandi Gallery from April 7-13. Designed for application across furniture, from tables to cabinetry, the collection featured a modern range of hues, including espresso, denim, soft lilac, and pistachio.
Made from natural ingredients like linseed oil, limestone, wood flour, and pine rosin, Furniture Linoleum offers a matte finish, soft texture, and eco-friendly appeal. The material is climate positive (cradle-to-gate), naturally anti-static, and resistant to fingerprints, making it as practical as it is elegant. Its flexibility allows it to wrap smoothly around curves and corners, expanding creative possibilities for designers and architects.
Forbo’s relaunch of the Furniture Linoleum collection positions the brand as a leader in high-performance, low-impact surface materials. Its enhanced palette and eco credentials respond directly to growing demand for sustainable, tactile finishes in interior and commercial design.
