During our Cape Town visit, we went to one of the many artisan workshops. In the weaver’s atelier of Amelia Jackson, we get to see some beautifully dyed rolls of yarn that inspire us with their gorgeous colors. Amelia Jackson Industries is a well-known local business that offers hand-woven rugs. The business first started in 1989 by Alan and Val Glasser. The two of them had only a couple of contacts and few materials. But, as they kept going to craft markets in Cape Town, the business began to grow. In 1994 they began to wholesale for independent shops and chain stores in South Africa. The name is in honor of Val’s grandmother and Alan’s great grandmother, Amelia Jackson, who was a weaver in the United Kingdom.

When we saw the beautiful colors of the dyed yarn, we were inspired to recolor our organic carpet pattern Butterfly in blues and yellows similar to the yarn in the market. This carpet design is part of our Cultures collection, in which we created taking inspiration from various cultures of the world. The collection features kilim rug patterns, tribal prints, Moorish carpet patterns, and many more.

To complement the yellow and blue carpet, we chose textiles like Wolf-Gordon’s Shennai in a beautiful blue shade, and Hebden by Camira. We also selected wood textures like the one by Wilsonart and Natural Ash by Haworth. To keep the organic carpet pattern the center of attention, we selected materials in neutral colors like Lino by santamargherita, Copper Patina, and Unicork 2. To tie it all together, we chose Arabesque by Livden, which adds an extra touch with its unique pattern and vivd contrast.

With our Easy Recolor program, you can choose from a variety of carpet designs and personalize its color to fit in your space perfectly. We offer a variety of carpet constructions and you can receive your customized carpet within 8 weeks. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in customizing a carpet for your workplace, hospitality, or multifamily project.

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.
