When visiting the Edfu Temple, we were mesmerized by how beautiful and big it is. The entrance features stone sentinels of the god Horus. The sandstone walls of the temple are extremely tall and decorated with amazing hieroglyphs and friezes inspiring this zig zag carpet. Thirtytwo towering columns surround the temple’s vast courtyard, and each one of them features floral and palm capitals.

The Edfu Temple’s construction began during the second century B.C., which was during the Ptolemy Dynasty’s rule. This makes the temple one of the younger Egyptian constructions, which is why it is so well-preserved. The temple still has its original ceilings in the original colors even.

Edfu Temple’s beautiful architecture and colors inspired us to recolor the Morocco carpet from the ege Carpets Cultures Collection. This collection features beautiful designs that feature tribal, Moorish, and kilim rug patterns. This zig-zag carpet’s deep reds and earth-toned colors bring warmth and uniqueness to any office area.

We decided to include wood tones like the Wide Plank Doug Fir, R50 Panel, and Unique Art OZ for the material board. We also included some grey tiles such as Paloma by Design and Direct Source and Bear Tooth by Fireclay Tile. The tiles add just the right amount of cool tones to the material board. To add more texture to the board while not adding a lot of color to it, we included textiles like Cherished Knit and Raffia. Lastly, we added some color and patterns to the board with Libra and Inga by United Fabrics to match our zig zag carpet.

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.
