Cartersville, Ga. — December 2025 — Shaw Contract has officially released Petra + Arbor to the market, a porcelain tile collection that merges timeless materiality with contemporary design performance. Engineered for both wall and floor applications, Petra + Arbor delivers an elevated aesthetic foundation for spaces that demand durability, versatility, and visual impact.

Petra + Arbor explores the intersection of two timeless materials: wood and stone. Arbor channels the warmth and authenticity of heritage wood. With fine grain detail and an organic palette, it evokes a sense of grounded familiarity rooted in the vernacular of old-world carpentry and native landscapes. Petra embodies the raw strength and sculptural elegance of concrete-infused stone. These two timeless visuals converge within an elegant wood-slat wall panel, creating an architectural focal point. Each surface offers a refined take on rugged durability, inspired by architectural masonry and the enduring forms of built history. It’s a study in longevity—materials with a past, reimagined for the future.

“Petra + Arbor is rooted in the idea that the materials we choose should feel both familiar and new,” said Reesie Duncan, VP of Global Design at Shaw Contract. “By blending the quiet strength of stone with the warmth of heritage wood, we created a collection that invites designers to build spaces with longevity, beauty, and purpose. It’s about honoring timeless craft while giving it a modern, versatile expression.”

At a time when material authenticity, biophilic influence, and emotional resonance are driving design decisions across commercial and residential markets, Petra + Arbor responds with a purposeful blend of nature-inspired texture and contemporary expression. The collection’s textural realism and nuanced colorways allow it to serve as either a bold focal point or a quiet architectural backdrop. This makes it adaptable for hospitality venues, workplace environments, multifamily living, and beyond.

The ethos behind Petra + Arbor aligns seamlessly with Shaw Contract’s broader mission: to create solutions that have a positive impact on both people and planet. Rooted in sustainable practices and informed by cultural and seasonal shifts, the collection embodies a design-forward approach grounded in environmental responsibility and material intelligence.
