Colorful carpet sets the mood for palette inspired by Presence in Hormuz

Moodboard

The Presence in Hormuz 2 is an urban renewal project in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, designed to tie island locals and visitors together through colorful architecture. The island’s color story perfectly complements the materials in our mood board, so we decided to translate the same tone in our colorful carpet recolor of Grainy Crystal by ege Carpets.

Formerly a historic port created to control petroleum shipments from the Middle East, ZAV architects were hired to develop a residential neighborhood out of bright multicolored houses in the shapes of domes and rounded pyramids. The island community was built in warm earthy color tones such as yellow, orange, blue, and green to match the beautiful ocean and rocky mountain scenery in front of the sandy village. The houses’ interior is colored in two-tone color palettes, half of the walls in red and the other half in a contrasting blue.

When constructing vibrant earthen homes, the designers used Nader Khalili’s unique superadobe technique, building ceramic houses out of soil and sand. It is a modern spin on primitive clay houses to achieve a contemporary yet historically grounded look. This amazingly designed community has racked up many notable awards, such as the Iranian Architecture Award of Memar and the Taipei International Design Award in 2020

We are using a standard ege pattern for this mood board, Grainy Crystal, which we recolor to complement the domed pyramid houses’ bright colors. The multifaceted pyramid shapes in our colorful carpet pattern beautifully translate the rainbow-colored village in the island sand. The pyramid’s vibrant multicolored sides also look just like a rare crystal glowing brightly inside the earth.

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.
