The standout in Róhe Frames studio is not necessarily their product. But a captivating art installation. The Amsterdam-based brand and studio decorated the space for Amsterdam Fashion Week with curated vintage furniture and an installation by artist Fransje Gimbrère. Róhe Frames explores contemporary shapes through distinct design elements and precise craftsmanship.

Gimbrère’s installation is called Crafted Columns, in which Gimbrère took inspiration from various knitting techniques to create these beautiful installations made of black yarn. In making the installation, the artist explored many possibilities in which a single yarn can be manipulated by hand into a new form. This installation shows the beauty and versatility of such a simple material. The Crafted Columns explore the dialog between fashion, craftsmanship, art, and collaborations in a physical space where all disciplines coexist.

Inspired by the interior design choices in the Róhe Frames studio, we decided to recolor the Morning Dew carpet by ege carpets. As part of the Highline Express Nature Collection, this and many other carpets are inspired by natural elements, including wood, flowers, sand, stone, and water. We wanted to create an industrial palette for this material board for this carpet recolor to stand out.

We wanted to include materials that were added to the industrial palette for the material board. Therefore, we included light-colored stones like Fragments by Highstyle Stone and Tile and Dover Wall Tile by Porcelanosa. Additionally, we included darker stones like Nero Marquina by Neolith and Cembrit Patina Rough by American Fiber Cement Corporation. We also included Eco-Terr Tiles – Bergamo Black by COVERINGS ETC to add a unique texture to the board. Walnut Flat Cut by Jacaranda Inc. adds a warm touch of wood tones. Lastly, no industrial palette is complete without a metallic touch. Therefore, we included Alumasteel by Wilsonart.

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.

Schedule an introduction with us

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.
