We are mesmerized by Kenneth Ize’s official debut at Paris Fashion Week. This season he presents his elegant, serene tunics collection. The Austrian-Nigerian fashion designer incorporates Nigerian Asoke fabric to create his clothing, which is getting the whole world talking. Influenced by workwear, he implements men’s tailored suits, carpenter pants, and striped miniskirts into his brand. Our materials palette translates the spirit behind his look and gives center stage to our large striped carpet.

Ize blends his African culture with eastern techniques. He works with Asoke weavers from Nigeria to revive the weaving method brought back from ancient times. All of his clothing is carefully handcrafted and embroidered into beautiful vibrant garments. As a tribute to his mother, who creates custom outfits with Viennese lace, his collection features orange and green lace tunics and suits accessorized with matching fringe bags.

Therefore, we are recoloring ege Carpets’ existing Sunshade carpet design into a palette filled with lighter color tones for the spring season. The Sunshade is a part of our Easy Recolor Graphic collection, featuring bold patterns in attractive color options.

Our large striped carpet mimics the beautiful Asoke weaved tunics that Kenneth Ize features in his collection. The multicolored stripes are a playful addition to an interior space. Which makes it perfect for any office, hotel, or restaurant space. At ege carpets, our materials are Cradle To Cradle certified and many use recycled Econyl® yarns.

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.
