Jhane Barnes, founder of Jhane Barnes Inc., is an award-winning designer of fashion, eyewear, textiles, flooring, and furniture. “Good design is that which inspires, challenges, and endures” has been Jhane’s mantra since she started her design business. That belief is reflected in her long collaboration with Knoll, Tandus Centiva, Bernhardt, KenmarkOptical and Lumicor. Jhane began working with Tandus Centiva more than 20 years ago and developed the first modular products designed for random installation. Her innovative carpet tile and Powerbond products for Tandus-Centiva have been revolutionary. She uses a blend of science and art, incorporating mathematics into many of the products she designs using her custom developed software. Her latest flooring products encompass the core of her design aesthetic as she continues to push those boundaries. Over the years, Jhane has won nearly every fashion and interior industry award there is. Most recently, she was presented with the 2015 Interior Design Magazine’s HiP Flooring Product Designer Award at Neocon. In 2014, she won several awards including the Nightingale Gold Award in Technology and Best of NeoCon for Innovation in Healthcare Flooring. Today, Jhane's newest collections of interior textiles continue to be found at Anzea.com and Tandus Centiva. She is also excited about the launch of vibrant signage for Takeform and digitally printed upholstery for LDI.
