Inspiration

Yearly, Brintons Global Design Teams will launch three new inspirational design collections.

Each collection will be comprised of contemporary and traditonal patterns, using co-ordinating colour palettes and a variety of design elements to create unique design solutions suitable to almost any commercial interior.

Reverb - Designs Reflective Of Our Environment

‘Reverb’ illustrates different elements within today’s environment and is divided into four distinct chapters: organic, micro, urban and flight. The collection has been developed to stimulate through colours and shapes – all of which have a clear resonance in today’s world of natural and modern environmental design.

The new and exciting collection features design themes that depict everything from the molecular, genetic make-up of an organism through to vast, sprawling urban landscapes. When paired together, the chapters compliment one another by giving way to a unique and stunning environmental narrative that traces the passage of time.

Jessemé Design Collection for the Dunbar-Cullum Anthology

Layered images of nature create the overall theme for Jessemé, the newest collection of Axminster carpet designs by Esther Dunbar-Cullum, who is regarded as one of the most prolific and prominent designers of carpets, rugs and textiles. Inspired by playful outdoor excursions with her young children, Esther captures the elegance of nature in “through the lens of fantasy”.

Jessemé designs were created exclusively for Brintons woven wool-rich Axminster carpet. The swirling array of patterns, combined with light-play and cloud effects are layered into bold, expressive designs in a vivid color palette. Florals and geometrics mingle throughout the small, medium and large-scale patterns in hues of blue, sage green, orange, and cream.

Suzani Design Collection for the Dunbar-Cullum Anthology

Versatility marks the focus of Esther Dunbar-Cullum’s newest design collection, Suzani. Created exclusively for Brintons woven Axminster carpets, the diverse assortment of design elements was inspired by the lively embroideries of Central Europe.

The organic shapes in the small, medium and large scale patterns are presented in a relaxed sun-drenched color palette of yellow, orange, green, brown and cream. The ornamental patterns in Suzani introduce stylized floral motifs and winding vines in repeating combinations that offer versatile options for corridors, borders and insets as well as large open space designs.

Dunbar-Cullum Anthology

The collaboration between Brintons, the world’s leading producer of custom woven Axminster carpet, and Esther Dunbar-Cullum, one of the most prolific and influential American designers of carpets, rugs and textiles, is a major new development which offers designers a boundless array of options.

Esther’s design collections have been immensely popular in the hospitality industry, but not available in woven wool-rich Axminster construction until now.

Although Esther Dunbar-Cullum and Brintons have had a long-standing relationship through work on many individual client projects, this formal collaboration is brand new. “I have an in-depth knowledge of Brintons and their extraordinary Axminster capabilities,” she notes.

By entrusting Brintons with exclusive Axminster production of more than twenty of her existing carpet design collections, Esther acknowledges her high regard for the manufacturer. “Brintons is the ideal resource. In addition to having the ideal product to showcase my designs, the company’s philosophy goes hand-in-hand with mine. The emphasis is on design.”

Katagami - the art of pattern

A collection of custom woven carpet designs.

Originating in the Nara Period (710-794), Katagami (Japanese stencils) were first used for applying designs in dye to leather goods such as stirrups and warrior helmets. They later came to be used for dyeing textiles and made great advances with the development of the kimono culture.

The early paper stencil patterns were called Ise Katagami since they were created in towns such as Shiroko and Jike on the shore of Ise Bay in former Ise Province (present-day Mie prefecture). They were sold all over Japan by itinerant traders.

Brintons hold one of the world’s largest private collections of Japanese stencils (over 800) and have transformed these beautiful, hand-crafted pieces into a unique and inspiring collection of carpet designs.

Jonette Slabey, Jonette Slabey & Associates, creator and project director of the collaboration, notes, "Given the current focus on modern sensibility and quest for simplicity in design, I felt the time was right for a Biedermeier resurgence in the marketplace.

Timorous Beasties by Brintons - First Weave

First Weave marks the start of this collaboration. “We relished the idea of designing carpets without the constraints and preconceptions of what a carpet design should look like. We enjoyed the play on scale with designs that challenge repeat. Compositions which are balanced without using symmetry and exploiting the technical difficulties of interpreting detail into a woven carpet.” commented Paul Simmons.
Many of the carpet designs have taken images from the outside world and brought them into the interior.
The carpets have been designed to use the floor space to differentiate the interior space from corridor to room, from outside to inside, from public space to private, from luxurious pattern to simple relaxation.
