Visiting art museums and galleries is a must in Paris. At Danysz. The show “Modulations Domestiques” by Charles Pétillon is truly a breathtaking and unique experience. The exhibit featured the evolution of the artist’s work, with a big emphasis on sculptures. Pétillon builds on the minimalistic motif, using white spheres throughout the presentation.

“Modulations Domestiques” is a significant shift in Pétillon’s work with brand-new ideas. The artist made his recent works rely on interaction. Previously, his installations played on accumulation and saturation. His work intends to expand on architecture and engage the audience in a dialogue.

Charles Pétillon is a French artist known for his work, including photography, installations, and sculpture. His work has been presented at the Maison de la Photographie in Lille, the Sinka Museum in Finland, and the Times Art Museum in Beijing. Pétillon has also created large-scale pieces for public display, including the Covent Garden installations in London, airports, and even opera houses.

We were genuinely inspired by the beautiful installations and photographs featured in the exhibit. Therefore, we decided to recolor Dots On Line by ege carpets to match this minimalistic aesthetic that Pétillon brings into his work. This dots carpet is part of the Essentials collection, which features a variety of carpet designs that bring a sophisticated touch to any interior design. For this recolor, we used neutral tones to get that clean and minimalistic feel from Pétillon’s work.

With the dots carpet in mind, we also created a material board that features neutral tones. We decided to include neutral textiles like Nullabor by James Dunlop Textiles and Sugarshack by Revolution Performance Fabrics. Additionally, we added some texture with Lincoln Silver, Novabell Sovereign, and Rift. We also included some neutral paint colors like Algonquin Trail and Lace Handkerchief by Benjamin Moore. Lastly, we included a dark wood Leather Chair as a finishing touch.

Talk Carpet’s Easy Recolor program allows you to recolor any of our many carpet designs to your liking. 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 within three weeks. Contact us to learn more about the program.

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.
