In downtown Bogota, by Calle 11, there is an old payphone that is part of Proyecto 2415017. This project is an installation that gives tourists a taste of Colombian history. The payphone is just like the ones that were extremely popular in the country during the 80s. When you pick up the phone, the voice of Alfonso Reyes Echandia, the Court Supreme Justice who died during the coup of M-19 in 1985, comes out. In this recording, Echandia is urging the president of Colombia to declare a cease-fire. He is then interrupted by guerilla leader Alfonso Jacquim, who threatens the government with gunshots in the background. This unique installation transports the listener back to a dark moment in Bogota’s history, just steps away from where everything actually happened.

Inspired by the bright yellow payphone with navy blue, white, and red stripes, we created a multi striped rug. This recolor of Shimmer Stripe by ege carpets from the essentials collection brings in the right amount of color and pattern to any interior space you are working on. The essentials collection’s main point is to offer an easy and quick way to personalize any carpet. This collection brings in classic patterns in unique colors and the possibility of creating your own color pallet.

For our Proyecto 2415017 material board, we decided to include the mustard tones of Cuban Cigar by Dunn-Edwards Paints. We also included a deeper red like Roycroft Copper Red by Sherwin Williams. To bring in the navy blue from the striped payphone, we included Context by Opuzen. We brought a little bit of greenery, reminiscent of Colombia’s beautiful flora and fauna, with Go Moss Felt by Green Oasis. Lastly, we included lighter tones that add a bit of texture, like EchoPanel, Evolve Tatami, and Parker Stone.

If you want to recolor a multi striped carpet or any of our many designs, the recolor program is for you regardless of it being a single rug or larger scale project. Our recolor tool allows you to easily customize any carpet pattern to fit into your next interior design project. Additionally, we offer nine different substrates and sustainable options.

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.
