Global flooring brand Parador is delighted to announce the launch of its new parquet flooring range – The Louvre Collection, which draws inspiration from the iconic castles and palaces of France, where traditional oak parquet flooring laid the foundation for some of history’s most notable interiors.
Launched on 22nd October at Orgatec, the Louvre Collection marks a significant expansion of Parador’s commercial sector. This innovative collection features five unique designs that showcase a variety of colours, textures, and geometric patterns, all crafted with precision and sustainable practices. From luxurious family homes to 5-star hospitality settings, the Louvre Collection brings a sense of grandeur and timelessness to spaces, with designs including Versailles, Chambord, Cheverny, Herringbone, and Chevron, all manufactured at the brand’s headquarters in Coesfeld, Germany, and its Austrian production site in Güssing.
Luisa Rohlf, Commercial Product Manager at Parador, states: “As we consider the design requirements for the commercial sector, there is a growing demand for sophisticated flooring solutions such as herringbone and chevron patterns. In 2024, Parador plans to take advantage of this opportunity by launching a new collection, which will mark a significant new chapter for Parador’s commercial clients. This collection will introduce Parquet de Versailles-style patterns, specifically designed to meet the needs of hospitality and trade settings. The intricate basket-weave design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of commercial environments but also offers durability and performance, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking to blend traditional and contemporary styles with functionality.”
The Louvre Collection will launch in the UK in November 2024 on Parador’s newly developed website for the commercial sector available at www.parador.de/en, with pricing available on request.
