Axel Vervoordt inspired mood board

Category: Mood boards

Belgian celebrity design Axel Vervoordt is often featured in interior design magazines and is very much known for his use of materials that hold a unique spirit and tell a story. Worn finishes tell a story beyond their unique textures and bring a sense of timelessness to new interior design projects. We like to apply worn textures to our carpet designs for that same reason.

For this mood board, we found inspiration in a project by Axel Vervoordt in Antwerp, where we recolored one of the easy recolor patterns by ege carpets. The misty sky pattern comes standard in various colors, but we like to bring our own inspiration and create a recolor version. Click the recolor button on the website to try it out yourself. These recolored commercial carpets come with only a 5 sq yard order minimum and are available in a selection of 9 carpet substrates.

We believe this palette would be great for hospitality designers working on a hotel lobby design looking for unique interior design materials with a warm texture.

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.
