During our travels in Egypt, we saw that Cairo had a lot of palm trees, which intrigued and inspired us a lot. The doum palm tree typically grows in hot and dry weather. The palm tree’s height is astronomical, which has provided a lot of shade even back in ancient Egypt. When exploring Tutankhamun’s tomb, experts found baskets of 3000-year-old doum fruit. Since ancient times, the palm tree has been considered sacred. To this day, the palm tree is used for shelter, décor, and even furniture.

The sandy landscape of the Egyptian city contrasts beautifully with the tall doum palm trees with their large green leaves. This beautiful and unique juxtaposition inspired us to recolor the Palm Leaf carpet from the Nature collection by ege Carpets. This collection features a wide variety of designs inspired by all the natural beauty that we find in our travels. This palm leaves carpet feature vibrant colors that add an exotic and unique flair to any interior design product.

In this material board, we decided to play more with textures rather than colors. This allows the beautiful palm leaves carpet to be the center of attention. The light sandy colors of Reform A New Wave and Fando are reminiscent of the desert. To add some more depth to the board, we included Island by Urban Coast Tile, Ouro Romano by Formica, and Zellige Unglazed are beautiful tiles that have unique textures and are still in the color pallet. Additionally, woods like Oak Red Rift Cut and Wide Planked Walnut add some more texture to the board. Lastly, the darkness of Buffer by United Fabrics and the green of Winner by Opuzen add just a bit more color to the board.

Our Easy Recolor program allows you to pick the perfect color for any of our many designs in the biophilic design theme. You can choose from nine substrates and one of our designs will surely fit your project perfectly. Our online recolor tool allows you to visualize what your carpet looks like easily, and our team can help you with anything you may need.

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.
