Relaxing Floors, a modular flooring system designed by 13&9, draws on fractal patterns to create stress-reductive qualities. Fractals are the building block of many patterns found in nature and have been shown to reduce stress and provide health benefits in studies by Fractals Research.
Relaxing Floors uses mid-complexity fractal patterns, which are the most common in natural scenery, for its 12-by-36-inch carpet planks.
