Since 1990, Curran has helped designers source
naturally beautiful rugs, carpet, and carpet tiles
around the world.
In 2020, we introduced SynSisal to our clients to
help bring the beauty of natural sisal to places
where sisal floor coverings don’t last.
With offices in the United States and Netherlands,
we deliver custom SynSisal rug, carpet, and tile
programs for international expansions. Clients
receive the same dedicated, high-quality service
across the globe.
We are
When we launched our SynSisal Signature collection in 2020, our vision was
to create “sisal without limits.” We wanted to capture the beloved organic
texture, warmth, and character of sisal carpet using low-impact technical
materials while freeing it from the performance limitations of natural fiber.
Since then, SynSisal Signature has become the premier option for designers
looking to bring sisal-look rugs and carpet to demanding commercial
settings including lobbies, conference and guest rooms,
and staircases.
Now, that vision expands.
SynSisal Tile opens the collection into a modular format, creating new
possibilities for large-scale commercial and hospitality spaces where
flexibility and ease of installation matter as much as design.
Reimagining
THE CLASSIC
SISAL LOOK
with new materials.
The sisal mirage.
See texture in a new light.
Modular by design, SynSisal Tile conjures texture through optical mirage: a
ribbed, dimensional surface that reveals its full effect once it repeats across
the floor, where it becomes indistinguishable from natural sisal.
It is not an illusion. It is an invitation to bring the striated earth tones
and intricate depth of woven fiber to heavily trafficked commercial
environments. Forget natural limitations.
With SynSisal Tile, seeing is believing.

SynSisal Tile opens the collection into a modular format, creating new
possibilities for large-scale commercial and hospitality spaces where
flexibility and ease of installation matter as much as design.
Designed to replicate the pattern of tight-woven sisal bouclé, Ridge is our
first SynSisal Tile structure, bringing subtle linear depth and dimension to
a modular sisal-look tile fit for commercial spaces.

Curran’s pursuit of the ideal SynSisal Tile has been a long-standing goal
but became reality when product designers Stephanie Piché and Cristina
Orozco Cuevas aligned on a shared vision of fiber texture, color inflection,
dimension, and movement.
The goal was simple: create a synthetic tile so visually authentic that you
could walk into a space and never guess it wasn’t natural sisal.
After nearly a year of development, they introduced our first SynSisal
Tile, capturing the complexity of a woven tight bouclé and giving
designers freedom to bring the sisal-look into commercial and hospitality
environments in a durable, modular format.

SUSTAINABLY
CRAFTED
Sustainability is at the core of Curran. We craft enduring, high-
performance floor coverings from low-impact materials, balancing
environmental responsibility with refined, natural aesthetics.
That’s why SynSisal is made using 100% recycled or regenerated
technical materials.
Both our SynSisal Signature and Tile collections are made using
100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon yarns sourced from old nylon
carpet scraps, post-consumer waste, and fishing nets recovered
from our oceans.

Installation Simplified.
Just place and press.
With a self-adhesive backing, save time and money on installation.
Replacing a single tile takes just seconds and can be done by anyone.

Installation Patterns
Monolithic
A continuous wall-to-wall look.
Row-to-row alignment: When tiles are
placed next to each other, the pattern aligns
seamlessly, with each individual bouclé row
lining up with the corresponding row in the
adjacent tile. If rows are misaligned, rotate the
tile 180° to restore proper row alignment and
continue the pattern.
Quarter Turn
All square carpet tiles can be installed in a
quarter-turn layout for a checkered effect.
Mix tile colors to create unique, beautiful patterns.
