Australia’s leading producer of European oak flooring, Tongue & Groove, presents the second collaboration in its Co.Lab series: Wall to Wall. Developed with London-based design studio Raw Edges and British design brand Established & Sons, the collection transforms traditional herringbone parquet into a canvas for colour, pattern, and craftsmanship.
In partnership with Tongue & Groove.
Launched in March 2025, Tongue & Groove’s Co.Lab series provides a platform where precision craftsmanship meets the artistry of leading creatives, rethinking timber flooring not just as a surface but as a defining element of space. Following the inaugural Bosco Collection by Australian designer Greg Natale, the series continues to explore colour, pattern and form as tools for transformation.
“It’s about pushing the boundaries of what flooring can be and giving visionary talents a platform to bring their artistry to life,” CEO of Tongue & Groove, Richard Karsay, says.
For its second collaboration, Wall to Wall is being introduced to the Australian market for the first time. Originally created in 2009 for Design Miami/Basel, the collection reinterprets traditional herringbone parquet as modular, hand-stained oak blocks, enabling designers to form patterns that are both functional and sculptural. Following its American debut, the collection joined long-time collaborator Established & Sons’ Signature Collection.
Tongue & Groove’s Wall to Wall collection turns European oak flooring into a playful, modular canvas, where colour, pattern and form shape the mood of a space.
“The design scene in Australia is so dynamic and adventurous, and that really aligns with what Wall to Wall is about,” Established & Sons Creative Lead Pol Mauri says. “With Wall to Wall, the only limit is your skill and imagination.” Produced in Manzano, Italy, each board is built from three layers of European oak and hand-stained in a palette of 22 colours. The hand-applied finish penetrates the timber, enhancing its natural grain while ensuring durability.
While a single shade can create. a uniform look, Raw Edges encourages mixing colours to form expressive, site-specific patterns. “There was such an instant reaction to the floor when we first showed it,” co-founder Shay Alkala says. “You can use it to create a bold statement or more subtle patterns—there are so many possibilities, and that’s really exciting.” For the London-based studio, the project continues a fascination with spatial storytelling, using colour and geometry to challenge how we perceive and inhabit a space.
Wall to Wall’s seven suspended panels, on display across Tongue & Groove’s Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane showrooms, showcase how timber flooring can shape atmosphere, texture, and spatial rhythm—cementing this collaboration with Established & Sons and Raw Edges as one to watch.

Raw Edges’ playful approach to colour and geometry brings movement and rhythm to the timber composition. At Saturday Indesign, a display of suspended panels highlights the collection’s expressive versatility.
"With Wall to Wall, the floor becomes a canvas, and that opens up a kind of playfulness that’s hard to achieve with other products."

Crafted with hand-stained panels in 22 shades, Wall to Wall invites designers to experiment and create floors that are as sculptural as they are functional.
