Suzhou, located in the center of the Yangtze Delta, is a must to visit. Oriental Venice has 42 percent of its area covered by water, making it a delightful experience to travel by boat through the shops and restaurants. Every township in Suzhou has several preserved Ming and Qing dynasty buildings to learn about the city’s history.

Suzhou was built in 514 BC. The city’s layout looks like a double-chessboard, with the streets and rivers going side by side while the water and land routes run parallel. The oriental Venice exudes charm, and there’s a bit of its history at every corner. The town has also made many improvements so tourists can access it more easily, providing room for every budget. If you go to Guan Qian Street, you will find authentic Suzhou cuisine and friendly service.

We were truly inspired by Suzhou and decided to recolor the Leaf Skeleton carpet. This design is part of the nature collection, which takes inspiration from all the natural beauty in this world. This leaf inspired carpet pays homage to the beautiful foliage in Suzhou and the city’s unique landscape. Additionally, the leaf skeleton reminded us of the city’s layout with its streets and canals.

Regarding this material board, we want to take inspiration from the wooden structures, red tones, and the green from the trees and add a modern touch with gray materials and unique textures. For the wood, we decided to go with American Walnut by Laminart. We wanted to bring in the color of the water and the trees from Suzhou with Shamrock by Sherwin Williams. Additionally, we brought in red and brown tones with Nano Corten by Artistic Tile and Bottoms up by Fabric Innovations. We included Tuscano Grigio by Nasco Stone Tile and Brass Finish by Architectural Grille to bring a more modern touch to the overall palette.

With our Recolor program, you can choose the color of our many carpet designs. Additionally, you can choose any of our nine substrates to take your project to the next level. Our online tool lets you easily visualize what the color will look like. Contact us to learn more about the program and choose the perfect carpet for your next project.

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.
