Ege carpets launches new Canvas Collage collection with Nicolette Brunklaus
Danish carpet manufacturer Ege carpets has teamed up with Dutch interior designer Nicolette Brunklaus, who has designed a new collection reflecting her love of rich textile structures. A tiny sample of worn linen, loosely woven and faded, began Nicolette Brunklaus’ creative process of mapping textures, colours and memories.
Canvas Collage is inspired by reflections on industry, just before the industrial revolution. Today, technology and efficiency have replaced this laborious craft yet Nicolette Brunklaus utilises its nostalgia by digitising it and collaging the linen texture in various modern ways. The woven structure is applied to all variations of the Canvas Collage collection, layered over dried dahlia flowers, in a patchwork of colours and combined with new forms.
Each of the designs are unique and feature a strong graphic identity. Rewoven is a collaged design inspired by tapestries by Corbusier in Chandigarh, India. Octo mixes a geometrical pattern with the rough expression of linen that reflects the woven structures of worn fabrics from long ago and the floral print Faded Dahlia illustrates the beauty of dried flowers that are photographed, abstracted and collaged in a rich realistic way and combined with the structure of linen.
