Made from sustainable Econyl yarn: Monogram, Elliptic, Weave, Brick, Net, Snake, Folding, and Backgammon

The Newstalgia collection, designed by Tekla Evelina Severin (aka Teklan) for Radici, reimagines the bold patterns of the 1960s and 1970s with a fresh twist. The name evokes nostalgia for a bygone era, while infusing it with modern energy and curiosity.

The collection features vibrant colors and geometric patterns, blending warm tones like peach and burgundy with contrasting shades such as light blue and terracotta. This mix creates dynamic, three-dimensional visuals and unexpected perspectives.

Comprising eight distinct patterns—Monogram, Elliptic, Weave, Brick, Net, Snake, Folding, and Backgammon—each design comes in two variants and is made from 16 complementary shades. The result is a cohesive yet diverse range of printed textile flooring, offering classic and unconventional pairings.

Severin describes her creative approach as “Everyday Surrealism,” where she plays with perspectives, color combinations, and a fusion of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs.

The collection features Radici’s Bloom Back textile flooring, made from sustainable Econyl yarn, ensuring recyclability at the end of its lifecycle.

The following are eight distinct printed textile surfaces, each with its own unique inspiration and color variants:
