59 Rivioli Paris inspired this graffiti carpet in our mood board

59 Rivoli Moodboard Talk Carpet

59 Rivoli is a unique museum to visit in Paris. This building is home to more than 30 artists in residence and hosts concerts on weekends. Inside 59 Rivoli, there is art at every corner. The walls of the grand staircase are covered in graffiti. There are piles and piles of work from the different artists who currently reside there.

In 1999, Gaspard Delanoe, Kalex, and Bruno Dumont opened the cemented-over door of 59 rue de Rivoli in Paris. Previously, the building was abandoned by Credit Lyonnais and the French state for 15 years. The building was a mess, but a dozen artists showed up to help them clean it up. They wanted to get this building to revive an unused space and create a place for artists to create, live, and exhibit their work.

It was only in 2009 that 59 Rivoli officially opened. Le 59 would welcome over 30 artists with their workshops and give them a space to show their work and continue to work on new projects. In the first year, 59 Rivoli welcomed 50,000 visitors and because the third Parisian center for the dissemination of contemporary art.

We recolored the Poetry Slam carpet using 59 Rivoli’s aesthetic as inspiration. This carpet is part of the Graphic collection, which covers a variety of predesigned patterns inspired by geometry, hoops, stripes, three-dimensional grids, and expressive typography. This graffiti carpet brings in the busy and unique aesthetic of 59 Rivoli.

To continue the unique aesthetic of Le 59, we created a material board that features darker-toned materials, such as Tribe by Cortina Leathers, Iron Corten by Neolith, and CU Later Artwork by Decorative Ceiling Tiles. We also decided to include Havergate by Cambria to add just the right amount of texture to the material board.

If you want to add this graffiti carpet or recolor any of our carpet designs, our recolor program is a great option. You can choose any of our nine carpet substrates to take your project to the next level. Additionally, our online tool lets you quickly visualize what the recolor will look like. You can get your carpet in just three weeks. Contact us to learn more about the program.

Sitting right next to Pompidou in Paris is Atelier Brancusi. This place is a reconstruction of the studio of renowned Romanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi. In the atelier, there are 137 sculptures, 87 bases, 41 drawings, two paintings, and more than 1600 grass photographic plates and prints by the artist.

Brancusi died in 1957, leaving behind a lot of his work in his studio, which consisted of 11 joined studios. The Romanian artist would break down walls to adjoin studios and create various environments to exhibit his work. He considered the relationship between sculptures and the space they occupied to be of crucial importance.

In 1997, the Atelier Brancusi as we know it today opened its doors on the esplanade of the Center Pompidou. So much of Brancusi’s work is on display at the atelier, giving you an idea of how much the artist put into the world. There are wood and plaster sculptures, bronze colonnades, animal shapes, and photographic studies. It is a beautiful and inspiring place to visit.

Inspired by the stone and natural textures of Brancusi’s work, we recolored the Stone Surface carpet. This is part of the nature collection by ege carpets, which takes inspiration from forests, deserts, and oceans. This light recolor of the carpet allows you to bring a textured palette to your next interior design project.

We created a material board that focuses on a textured palette with the atelier colors and the recolored carpet in mind. We included dark woods like Texas Mesquite 83000 and Artisanal Hardwoods. Keeping the dark brown theme, we also included different textured textiles like Artisan Textured Finishes by CopperSmith, Basketcase by Cortina Leathers, Lafayette Velvet by Opuzen, and Chesney by Valley Forge Fabrics. Additionally, we decided to bring some lighter tones of cream and white by adding Cove, True Terrazzo, Concrete Look Porcelain Paver, and Passion. To tie in the soft colors with the dark ones, we included mid-toned neutral paints like Crewel Tan by Sherwin-Williams and Mesa Tan by Dunn-Edwards Paints.

If you like our textured palette, you might be interested in our Easy Recolor Program. We used this to recolor our Stone Surface carpet, enabling us to source the perfect backdrop for our textured palette. Using our online tool, you can do the same. Choose from any of our collections and recolor them to match any interior. You can then visualize the carpet before ordering physical carpet samples. You’ll receive your samples within three business days at an affordable price. Contact us if you want to learn more.
