At Talk Carpet we are excited to announce that we are now an affiliate of DIFFA’s Specify With Care program. Starting January 2021, we are donating 1% of sales revenue in our custom carpet program to DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS). Our participation helps DIFFA in procuring resources to support HIV/AIDS organizations year-round and respond quickly to their needs. As an ally and friend to the community, we believe it is vital to support causes that impact lives daily.

As design leaders and suppliers of unique carpets, we have a mission to change the mold of what carpets traditionally are. We want to show people that carpet can be a canvas for art through new and innovative carpet designs. Since August of 2020, we team up with freelance designers and artists globally to create unique carpet designs every week. Our custom designs are always out of the box and relevant to current trends. As members of the design community, we pride ourselves on our work, continually pushing the way people think about carpet,

Talk Carpet Magazine Issue 12: the marvels of Egypt

It is no secret that Paris has been the capital of fashion since the seventeenth century. The city has been the playground for prestigious designers and couture brands like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Today the Parisian style is not only an aesthetic choice but a philosophy. It embraces elegance, timelessness, and slow responsible fashion. The focus is on the cut and the quality of the materials. No fluff or excessiveness with a less is more approach. And what better way to understand Parisian fashion than to visit a museum dedicated to it.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.

The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
