Classic carpet design reimagined as a minimal pattern

This classic carpet design reminiscent of grand chateaus and classical ballrooms is a staple in any commercial carpet company’s portfolio. However, as times move on, so make patterns. We love taking some of these classics from the archives and reimagining them as modern and more minimal patterns.

When we visited Paris last week to discover some of the 2020 Christmas lighting and decorations, we fell in love with the Dior facade at Rue Cambon. It exudes elegance, yet does so in exactly that more minimal and modern way.

We have taken the Coronation pattern by ege Carpets and used the online recolor tool. We did reduce the number of details in the pattern by reducing the number of unique colors. The result is a more paired down version of the original ege pattern. If you would like to play around with the recolor tool, check our page with a tutorial video. You can also speak to one of our team members, and they can get the recolor done for you. This pattern is part of the ege Highline express collection, which holds thousands of patterns that can all be recolored without implying any minimum order quantities. It is available as commercial broadloom carpet and carpet tiles.

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.
