Two new collections debuted at NeoCon 2025, blending futuristic exploration and tactile elegance to redefine surface design.
Cartersville, Ga., August 19, 2025 – Shaw Contract is officially making its entry into the porcelain and ceramic category with the debut of two innovative collections: Stellar and Interact. Unveiled at NeoCon 2025, these collections mark a bold expansion of Shaw Contract’s material portfolio, combining superior aesthetics, durability, and forward-thinking design rooted in sustainability.
With the launch of Stellar and Interact, Shaw Contract delivers a dynamic range of wall and floor tiles that meet the growing demand for tactile, expressive surfaces across commercial spaces. These collections are designed for architects, designers, and specifiers seeking new ways to elevate their environments through the intersection of form, material, and mood.
Stellar: a concrete look for walls and floors
More than a tile, Stellar is a vision of the future. Inspired by the textures of otherworldly landscapes and the ambition to explore beyond the known, Stellar brings a bold, sculptural presence to any space. It’s designed for those who seek to ground their environments in possibility while reaching for what’s next. Stellar’s visual reimagines the texture of concrete aggregate in four colorways and is offered in porcelain 12×24 and 24×48 field tiles, both for floors or walls: a 2×2 and stacked mosaic, a chevron subway tile, and a ceramic 18×48 wall panel. Suggested applications include interior walls and floors, exterior walls, backsplashes and shower floors.
Interact glazed ceramic brings texture to walls
Interact is ideal for spaces that prioritize mindfulness, collaboration, and design that adapts to the moment. This glazed ceramic wall tile collection is composed of a 4×8 pressed tile and a rectified 18×48 dimensional wall panel. Interact was designed specifically for interior walls and backsplashes. The collection features a muted, calming color palette and a soft geometric pattern that is randomly sorted within each box, creating a unique, ever-changing visual rhythm from tile to tile. Despite its dimensional surface, Interact is thoughtfully designed with softened edges, ensuring it remains easy to clean. Its pressed format calls for a wider grout joint, adding to its subtle, handcrafted aesthetic.
“With Stellar and Interact, we’re expanding the possibilities of surface design,” said Reesie Duncan, VP of Global Design at Shaw Contract. “These collections bring a fresh architectural perspective—Stellar with its bold, sculptural presence and Interact with its refined, tactile subtlety—while staying true to our commitment to performance, versatility, and purposeful design. We see Stellar speaking to architects and designers in commercial, hospitality and mixed-use markets who seek innovative, performance-driven tile with a sculptural edge. Interact appeals to specifiers in wellness and hospitality and even multi-family spaces, prioritizing adaptability, tranquility and sensory experience.”
Commitment to sustainable design
As part of Shaw Contract’s continued commitment to sustainable design, Stellar and Interact are engineered to support healthier environments and responsible manufacturing.
