Landscape-Inspired Carpets Converge Nature and Design
Architecture studio Gensler has teamed up with Danish manufacturer Ege Carpets to create an evocative collection called “Our Planet.” This series of carpets and rugs draws its inspiration from the diverse landscapes of America, offering an intricate tapestry of textures and patterns.
A Journey Through American Landscapes
The collection embarks on an abstract journey starting from the west coast‘s rugged mountain ranges and traveling across to the cultivated terrains and waterways of the east. Each piece encapsulates a unique narrative of nature’s underlying structures, as envisioned by Gensler design director Emma Chang. She notes, “Our Planet was inspired by the different ways we perceive the landscape—from the tactile textures up close to the flowing networks when viewed from above.”
