FLOR teamed up with Net Effects to create an [eco-friendly modular carpet system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossover-rug-collection) that allows you to create, design an re-create carpet layouts over and over again. Each one of the FLOR tiles is manufactured using completely [recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lino-materiale). In particular, they use discarded fishing net plastic that poses a threat to water creatures and the environment.

Each carpet is complete with a set of colorful squares that can be arranged in any way you desire. To place the squares on your floor, FLOR uses a toxic-free adhesive system on the perimeter of the carpet squares that connects each piece without touching the floor.

These playful [modular carpet designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) let adults show their playful side. These carpets are perfect for homes or offices. They are very kid-friendly and will absorb any spills that occur because the carpets are created to be "impervious to moisture, and spills and stains won’t seep through the carpet."
