The Museum of Contemporary Art and Design is showcasing Michael Lin: Locomotion. This is Lin’s first solo presentation in the Philippines. He is internationally known for creating site-specific painted installations. His work focuses on redesigning and reconfiguring public spaces and giving them more dynamic. His previous projects included the reconfigurations of bookstores, community halls, atriums, and much more.

For this exhibit, Lin created something that was specially made for the MCAD in Manila. He enveloped the gallery’s walls with an uninterrupted and fluid floral arrangement. The walls were adorned with his signature decorative patterns based on traditional Taiwanese textiles. Additionally, he includes small details that pay homage to his simple childhood and Taiwanese culture.

Inspired by Lin’s work, we decided to recolor the Organic Leaf carpet. The colors we chose for the wavy floral carpet are warm and very reminiscent of the feel of Lin’s installation at MCAD. For the material board, we wanted to play with the color palette of the warm tones present in Lin’s floral design. We included warm brown tones by adding Retreat by Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering and Bye Bye Birdie by Anzea. Additionally, we included RePly by imagine tile to the mix to add some green and a unique pattern. We also included Passion by Emser Tile to add the light pink of the flowers. Lastly, we included lighter-toned materials like Adare Manor by Architex and Greenmount Silk by Benjamin Moore.

If you want to find the perfect color for one of our many carpet designs, Talk Carpet’s recolor program is ideal for you. You can choose any of our nine carpet substrates to take your project to the next level. Additionally, our online tool lets you quickly visualize what the recolor will look like. You can get your carpet in just three weeks. Contact us to learn more.

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.
