Solution

The idea bases on the thought, that all our steps and also objects leave marks. With this idea of floor covering, it is possible to make this marks visible and giving them a more aesthetic expression. As heavier you are as bigger is the mark and also the other way round! The shape of the mark orients itself at the object that left it. For example, a more angled shape leaves a more angled mark as a human shoe. Furthermore is it heat sensitive. Air circulation might also take effect on the floor. So if you open a window or a door while entering a room the cover color might change a bit.

The function, the cover consists of 2 layers. A gel mat with a semi-liquid colored gel and a slip-free transparent cover, where you finally walk on.
