Philadelphia Commercial Refocus 18x36 Retro Geometric Commercial Carpet Tile

Philadelphia Commercial Refocus (style #55005) is an 18" x 36" commercial carpet tile with a playful retro geometric pattern that blends mid-century design with 1960s and 1970s influences. The small-scale motif uses soft edges and curves, and contrasting color combinations give it a layered sense of depth. Made in the USA, Refocus comes in 10 colors and pairs with Reset, a larger-scale curved pattern in the same color names. Its rectangular plank format supports eight installation methods, so the same retro motif can sit quietly in a monolithic field or take on more movement in herringbone.

Best for: Creative agency offices, startup workspaces, cafes and break rooms, boutique hotels, coworking lounges and student centers that want a little personality underfoot.

Colors

• Evolve 00200: warm greige with brown depth, a natural match for teak and walnut.
• Connect 00300: deep gray with a green-neutral lean.
• Balance 00400: straightforward mid gray for a quieter version of the pattern.
• Morph 00406: dark blue-slate, the coolest tone in Refocus.
• Mature 00500: warm stone gray that keeps the retro motif subtle.
• Compose 00502: pebble gray, a hair lighter and more neutral than Mature.
• Modify 00510: smoky charcoal-brown for darker zones.
• Invent 00600: sandy cinnamon taupe, the lightest and warmest color in the set.
• Shift 00700: khaki-taupe with a vintage, earthy feel.
• Alter 00705: tobacco brown that reads very mid-century.

The browns (Evolve, Invent, Alter) lean into the 1970s look, while Balance, Compose and Morph give a cooler, modern take. Order free samples to see the pattern contrast up close.

Installation Methods

Refocus can go down eight ways: the straight-lay Monolithic, three offset methods (Stagger, Ashlar, Brick), and four woven or grouped patterns (Herringbone, Basketweave, Half Basketweave, Boxed In). Because the motif is small and busy on its own, Monolithic or Stagger keep the floor readable across a large office; Herringbone and Basketweave stack another layer of geometry on top and work best in a defined zone such as a cafe or lounge. Boxed In groups tiles into square blocks for a gridded, mid-century look. Full installation guidance is on the spec sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Refocus carpet tile look like? Refocus is a small-scale geometric carpet tile with rounded, soft-edged shapes and contrasting color combinations inspired by mid-century and 1960s and 1970s design. It is made by Philadelphia Commercial in an 18x36 format.

What is the difference between Refocus and Reset? Both are 18x36 retro-inspired Philadelphia Commercial carpet tiles that share color names. Refocus has a small-scale geometric motif, while Reset uses large-scale curves, sculptural shapes and bold color blocking, so they work well together as field and feature.

Is Refocus too busy for an open office? Not usually. Refocus has a small-scale pattern, and choosing a lower-contrast color like Compose or Balance with a Monolithic layout keeps it calm in large open offices while still adding texture.

What installation patterns can Refocus use? Philadelphia Commercial approves eight layouts for Refocus 18x36: Monolithic, Stagger, Brick and Ashlar, plus the more decorative Herringbone, Boxed In, Basketweave and Half Basketweave.

Where is Refocus made? Refocus 18x36 carpet tile is made in the USA by Philadelphia Commercial, part of Shaw Industries.

Specifier Tips

Use Refocus as the field and Reset as the feature: for example, Refocus in Mature across workstations and Reset in Alter in a lounge or game room. For a true 1970s mood, combine Invent and Alter with warm wood and mustard upholstery; for a modern spin, pair Morph with white laminate and black metal. Keep a few spare tiles from the original order for future replacements.
