The La Fauna collection by Casa Remedios is a collaboration between Mercedes Salazar and Serena Cancellier. Salazar is a Colombian designer of beautiful jewelry and unique objects. Her work is imaginative and shows her craftsman’s skills. Cancellier is a leather goods designer and artistic director. She is an Italian living in Paris and believes that every creation should have an emotional dimension.

This collaboration was born because of their instant connection in 2019. The Colombian Chamber of Fashion invited Cancellier to lead a workshop. The two went out for dinner and never stopped talking. La Fauna honors the skills of Colombian artisans. Each of the unique pieces features a metal structure woven in recycled plastic. Although the tradition is straw instead of plastic, this adds a modern twist to the elements. They showcased this collection in the most recent Paris design week and it was a standout.

This collection’s vibrant materials especially inspired us. Therefore, we recolored the Ikat Stripe carpet, part of our Arts & Crafts Collection. This collection features handmade motifs and textures and timeworn vintage patterns. We decided to choose a vibrant recolor for the carpet reminiscent of the recycled plastic fringes of the items in the La Fauna collection.

To complement the vibrant carpet recolor, we decided to add bright-colored materials. Therefore, we included Citrus Orange and Impressionist Ruby by Benjamin Moore. Additionally, we had the bright blue Classic Bamboo by Moz Design Inc. To add a darker material and a different texture, we included Panache by National Solutions. Lastly, we had neutral textured fabrics, such as Luca Gray and Dolin.

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 allows you to visualize what the recolor will look like quickly. You can get your carpet within three weeks. Contact us to learn more about the program.

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.
