Artesanias de Colombia gathers the skills and craftsmanship of the best artisans in the country. This entity shares Colombia’s culture and crafts with the world, emphasizing authentic methods and techniques. Visiting their showroom gives you a glimpse of Colombian culture and heritage. While visiting Bogota, we had the chance to explore the unique handmade masterpieces. Throughout our walkthrough, one specific piece caught our attention. The handwoven chair features authentic weaving techniques, geometric details, and a lively color palette.

The handwoven chair and its remarkable crafting technique inspired us to curate a mood board. The carefully picked combination of elements is reminiscent of the genuine craftsmanship we spotted at Artesanias de Colombia. We started with our modern herringbone carpet, a stunning base that will anchor the elements. The appealing pattern features a herringbone print in blue and yellow.

Our recolored Guinea by ege carpets makes an excellent choice for an area rug or wall to wall install. Using our unique re-coloring program, we used Guinea by ege carpets and recolored the pattern.

Toru by National Solutions is a gorgeous wallpaper with an organic feel. The subtle pattern makes a visual statement while letting the carefully selected combination of textures stand out. OAK Country Riva Mezzo by mafi America Inc is lovely oak flooring that fits the overall concept. The rough and unfinished surface brings the natural feel, perfectly matching our modern herringbone carpet.

Missoni Arianna by Stark is a carpet with a distinctive woven texture incorporating yellow, red, and brown. The color scheme perfectly matches the one seen on the handwoven chair. Heritage Field / Wall Tile by Design and Direct Source is ideal for making a bold contrast. The deep blue tone comes with a remarkable watercolor finish, making it a contrasting accent in the space. Dune by LebaTex is the ideal upholstery fabric for sprucing up the room. The warm color and organic texture ideally complement the other elements.

To add pops of color, we use multiple samples from Benjamin Moore. Leap of Faith is a lovely mustard tone that matches the aesthetic. We can envision this gorgeous paint color as an excellent match with the Toru wallpaper. Sombrero is a medium-light yellow shade. With the Leap of Faith, the carefully chosen combination will create a sense of dimension. Lastly, Bold Blue by Benjamin Moore is a brave choice that will contrast the prevailing yellow tones. Used in moderate amounts, this paint choice will add a pop of color. Since blue is already present in the modern herringbone carpet, enhancing the space with accents in the same color is highly recommended.

We used our Easy Recolor Program to recolor the modern herringbone carpet. This program is ideal for those projects that require a custom carpet that perfectly fits the chosen color palette. If you don’t have time to develop a new and unique design, we provide the tool to customize existing patterns. Contact us now, and we will be happy to assist you!

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.
