Manufactured Landscapes by Suzanne Tick is the most exciting, innovative and risky product to be introduced by Tandus this year. The patent-pending process challenges traditional thought by allowing the installer to configure the carpet tiles in various ways… either non-directional or in ashlar method. The result is a look that is subtle, detailed, but random. No one else in the industry has a product like this. In fact, Manufactured Landscapes has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Stop by Space 391 for a demonstration or listen to a showroom iPod to learn more.

Have you determined how you’re getting to your first destination at the show? If you are a newbie, you may be unaware of the shortage of elevators that take show patrons to each floor. What you also may be unaware of is they tend to be jam packed, and you’ll have to do some waiting. Because no one really likes to wait, especially when some of the most gorgeous products await your viewing pleasure, we wanted to share our show “viewing” strategy with you. First, start at the top. This way you can take the stairs down to each floor, and you only have to take the elevator one time. Second, don’t skip breakfast; you’ll need those complex carbs for energy. Third, take a break and rest at the cafes scattered throughout the Mart to recharge your battery and take in some people watching. Last, look out for the “best in show” goody bags - treats are always fun to take away. Check back here during the show because we’ll tell you who has the best goody bags!
