Timeless nude geometric carpet inspired by Mayan artifacts

Mayan Artifacts mood board Talk Carpet

The old Mayan culture is rich and full of history that dates back thousands of years. While in Guatemala, we get the opportunity to visit the grounds of Tikal to see the roots of Mayan culture. While visiting Tikal, we saw some interesting Mayan pieces that inspire us. The Mayans use various animal themes and motifs when sculpting their stone sculptures. Their culture believes that people are born with an animal spirit while learning from a god that teaches us important life lessons. Their artifacts often include mythological figures and religious stories in the hieroglyphic symbols and sculptures. Usually found in ruins of temples and sacred pyramids, Mayan artifacts are used as rituals to their gods. We’re taking inspiration from the color scheme and integrating our nude geometric carpet on the materials palette.

The two sculptures that inspire us are both made out of stone and engraved with lots of detail. Both statues have silhouettes of a man, which seems like it represents the Gods they look up to. Both figures have detailed geometric shapes, and tints of pinks, yellow, and green reflect the stones.

Similarly, our nude geometric carpet translates the Mayan artifacts we see in the museum. Benin RECOLORED by ege Carpets uses beautiful hues of beige and orange similar to the two ancient artifacts. Our Mayan tribal-inspired carpet creates an exciting mood for any interior and acts as the perfect backdrop to our material board. We pair our geometric carpet with contract materials found on the material bank. We include various materials from brands such as Maharam, Artistic Tile, Opuzen, and more.

With our easy recolor program, you can recolor our nude geometric carpet to your liking. With our near-endless color option and our live visualization tool, you can easily see what will work for your next project. In order to provide you with different price points, we offer a selection of nine carpet substrates. Please contact one of our team members through the chat button or our contact page.

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.

If you like our textured palette, you might be interested in our Easy Recolor Program. We used this to recolor our Stone Surface carpet, enabling us to source the perfect backdrop for our textured palette. Using our online tool, you can do the same. Choose from any of our collections and recolor them to match any interior. You can then visualize the carpet before ordering physical carpet samples. You’ll receive your samples within three business days at an affordable price. Contact us if you want to learn more.
