Lake Atitlan is the inspiration for our organic pattern mood board

Lake Atitlan is a beautiful lake that sits in a massive volcanic crater in Guatemala. It is also recognized as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Around 84 thousand years ago, Lake Atitlan was created through a volcanic eruption. That explosion left a gigantic crater in the earth that fills up throughout the years. Interestingly, the lake retains water from its nearby rivers and is not connected to the ocean. From an aerial view, you can see the Volcano San Pedro’s top along with the organic pattern lake.

The Mayan people heavily influence Lake Atitlan and is popular among tourists as a national park. The sun always hits the crystal waters and creates beautiful wavy patterns that sparkle in the sun. Framing the lake are volcanos that help reflect the beautiful hues on the lake’s surface.

The whole setting of Lake Atitlan inspires us to transform our existing Alabast carpet. Our Alabast carpet design by ege turns into a pattern that also looks like the ripples of the crystal blue lake. The Alabast is a natural and organic pattern for the interior space that will make you feel like you are swimming in Lake Atitlan. As part of our Highline Express Nature Collection, this carpet reflects natural elements such as wood, water, and sand into carpet designs.

For our material board, we use the Alabast organic carpet as our background. We use contract materials, including Panno di Dolce and Moroccan, a glazed tile in a beautiful cobalt blue. Rizo Terrazzo is a porcelain tile with embedded stone details. In Pinnacle, we use a jewel-like geometric fresco pattern in a neutral beige. In Leather Essentials Cowhide, we use a turquoise velvet-like suede material. Lastly, we add complementing materials Static, Pattern 38, Painted Trim, Juniper, and Brownstone.

With our recolor program, you can recolor our organic pattern any way you want. We offer various pattern options in broadloom carpet, commercial area rugs, and carpet tiles. There are thousands of carpet patterns to choose from, including abstract, modern, and organic carpet designs. We love personalizing carpets, so 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.
