We’re proud to unveil Co.Lab, an initiative that combines Tongue & Groove’s precision engineering with the groundbreaking creativity of the world’s most celebrated and visionary designers. Our first collection – a collaboration with award-winning Australian designer Greg Natale – will launch on 13 March 2025, and collaborations with Catherine Martin, Yasmine Ghoniem (YSG Studio), and Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay (Raw Edges for Established & Sons) will follow.
Born from a vision to revolutionise the flooring industry and celebrate creativity and craftsmanship, Co.Lab brings together the world’s most esteemed designers to create extraordinary flooring collections that challenge conventions and set new standards in design.
“The Co.Lab initiative emerged from our relentless pursuit of innovation and delivering excellence within the flooring industry,” says CEO Richard Karsay.
“It’s about pushing the boundaries of what flooring can be and giving visionary talents a platform to bring their unique artistry to life.
By aligning Co.Lab with globally acclaimed creative icons, we aim to not only set new standards of luxury but also to redefine the essence of what flooring can represent.”
Tongue & Groove is Australia’s first luxury flooring brand to introduce a collection that combines exquisite craftsmanship with avant-garde design. Through creative partnerships with leading designers, Co.Lab transcends traditional flooring concepts, transforming them into bespoke, artistic masterpieces.
Each Co.Lab collection is a curated experience, reflecting the distinctive creativity of its designer.
Bringing these collections to the market has relied on the meticulous craftsmanship we are known for and significant investment in advanced manufacturing technologies and bespoke processes.
The intricate patterns are crafted with precision using our unique three-layer solid European oak boards, ensuring the same exceptional quality and durability as the brand’s existing portfolio.
The Co.Lab x Greg Natale launch in March will mark the first of many exciting collaborations under the Co.Lab banner.
Future collections will continue to explore new creative horizons, featuring internationally acclaimed talents known for their bold approaches to design.
“What sets Co.Lab apart is our pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to luxury and artistry,” says Karsay.
“Together with our collaborators, we’re not just following trends; we’re setting them, creating timeless pieces that will inspire and captivate for generations to come.”
With Co.Lab, we invite the world to reimagine flooring as a canvas for creativity.
