In summer 2025,

received a significant refresh, with 10 new wood- and stone-inspired luxury vinyl designs. Less than six months later, the collection is receiving significant recognition: two awards for product-design excellence.

The Opus collection has been honored with both a GOOD DESIGN award and an ADEX Platinum award. Jenne Ross, Karndean Director Of Product, says that more than anything, the awards reflect the luxury vinyl supplier’s commitment to its customers.

Launched in 2012, Opus has long been distinguished by cool tones and modern aesthetics. But with the new wood and stone visuals, things have warmed up a bit, Ross says, noting that retailers, designers and architects can get a firsthand look at the collection next week at SURFACES (Booth 2847).

A gluedown collection with a 20 mil wear layer, Opus is ideal for creating custom installations that include Karndean design strips.

Like all Karndean flooring, Opus is backed by a lifetime residential warranty. Learn more about the collection on the Karndean website.

Few awards match the prestige of GOOD DESIGN, which has been honoring product-design excellence worldwide since 1950. The awards are bestowed annually by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. With awards for categories such as furniture, electronics and lighting, Opus is the only luxury vinyl product to be honored in the floor/wall covering category for 2025.ADEX Platinum awards are bestowed annually by Design Journal, a publication for sustainability-minded designers and architects.

Karndean Designflooring luxury vinyl captures the natural beauty of wood and stone in extraordinary detail. Combining artistry, craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, every wood and stone design is an original available exclusively from Karndean.

Unlike most luxury vinyl suppliers, Karndean develops and owns all of its wood and stone designs, curating the natural materials that inspire them from around the world. The Karndean product development team crafts the wood and stone to enhance the natural beauty, ultimately resulting in a visual on print film that becomes Karndean intellectual property.

The strict control in product development and manufacturing ensures that customers can count on Karndean for the industry’s most beautifully crafted luxury vinyl.
