New patterns, colours and design possibilities By [Mette Frydensbjerg Jacobsen](https://blog.egecarpets.com/explore/author/mette-frydensbjerg-jacobsen) [← Go to blog front page](https://blog.egecarpets.com/explore) [Canvas Collage](https://hubs.ly/H0lfYc-0) Originally launched in 2014, [Canvas Collage](https://hubs.ly/H0lfYnX0) has developed into a bestselling collection that's styling floors and creating ambience in countless office and hospitality spaces around the world. In celebration of the 5-year anniversary, Canvas Collage has been completely refreshed and revitalised through the addition of new patterns and colour combinations. ## The aesthetics of handmade tactility Leading the collection into the era of future interiors, Dutch designer Nicolette Brunklaus once again demonstrates her unique sense of textures and colours, when collaging them into one of a kind contemporary carpet designs. Fascinated by the power of perfect combinations, Brunklaus uses colour as a positive and poetic way to influence space and lift people up. ![pom_canvas-collage-twine_mono_06](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogposts/poms/Canvas%20Collage%20update/pom_canvas-collage-twine_mono_06.jpg?width=1600&name=pom_canvas-collage-twine_mono_06.jpg) The tactility of carpet makes it one of her favourite materials along with wood, ceramic and stone, but it's the contradiction in the combination of the materials that fascinates her the most. > Textiles deliver softness, movement, texture and of course silence. There's no noise or just a soft, pleasant sound when you touch a piece of fabric or walk on a carpet. ###### - Nicolette Brunklaus, designer ![pom_canvas-collage-twine_planks_05](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogposts/poms/Canvas%20Collage%20update/pom_canvas-collage-twine_planks_05.jpg?width=465&name=pom_canvas-collage-twine_planks_05.jpg) Reflections on industry just before the industrial revolution and a small piece of linen from the 19th century are Brunklaus' main inspirations for Canvas Collage. Reworking the handmade tactility and structure of transparent linings, she creates a textured base layer that repeats in many of the designs. Brunklaus uses the computer as a sketchpad while photographing colours and structures before mixing them into compositions. By layering patterns and colours, she creates completely new images. ## 5 design themes While beautifully updating the Octo, Linen, Rewoven and Faded Dahlia designs, Canvas Collage is also enriched with Twine – a completely new design story inspired by the transparent linings of yarns and fringes where light and shadow add a characteristic depth. Twine features 3 patterns with varying degrees of colour contrasting, with a remarkable craft-like feeling in common. ![pom_canvas-collage-rewoven_01](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pom_canvas-collage-rewoven_01.jpg?width=1600&name=pom_canvas-collage-rewoven_01.jpg) ###### **Rewoven** is a collaged design inspired by the tapestries of Corbusier in Chandigarh, India. Each mixture of coloured layers forms a new pattern. ![pom_canvas-collage-octo_02](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pom_canvas-collage-octo_02.jpg?width=465&name=pom_canvas-collage-octo_02.jpg) ###### **Octo** mixes a geometrical pattern with the rough expression of linen. ![pom_canvas-collage-twine_03](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogposts/poms/Canvas%20Collage%20update/pom_canvas-collage-twine_03.jpg?width=1600&name=pom_canvas-collage-twine_03.jpg) ###### **Twine** is based on the transparent linings of yarns and fringes where light and shadow add a characteristic depth to the design. ![pom_canvas-collage-linen_09](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogposts/poms/Canvas%20Collage%20update/pom_canvas-collage-linen_09.jpg?width=465&name=pom_canvas-collage-linen_09.jpg) ###### **Linen** reflects the woven structures of worn fabrics from long ago. ![pom_canvas-collage-faded-dahlia_04](https://blog.egecarpets.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogposts/poms/Canvas%20Collage%20update/pom_canvas-collage-faded-dahlia_04.jpg?width=1600&name=pom_canvas-collage-faded-dahlia_04.jpg) ###### **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. To match current design trends, brown, green and purple are kicking in as contemporary mood enhancers, leaving plenty of room for the eternal interiors favourites; beige, blue, red and grey. ## Nicolette Brunklaus [Nicolette Brunklaus](https://www.nicolettebrunklaus.com/) is born in 1959 and holds an Art degree from Academy of Art in Groningen.
