Design possibilities with ege carpet

Historical Parc Broekhuizen

The story of Dutch hotel Parc Broekhuizen goes back to the 15th century.

However, today’s decoration is inspired by the Louis XVI style especially popular in the late 17th century and carefully rebuild from well-preserved old photographs of ceilings, panelling, ornaments, sculptures and impressive murals painted on the walls in the grand lounge.

Atelier ege carpet
The scene is set for a sensuous hotel stay as interior architect Judith Van Mourik has incorporated the historical feeling in every single detail of the décor, always keeping in mind the estate’s history, its monumental buildings and the gorgeous play of light inside.

Classic oak and brass elements are combined with modern designer furniture and decorations as well as natural materials like marble.

The courtyard looks very grand, but once you are inside the restaurants, five differently themed conference rooms and 22 suites feel surprisingly intimate.

In the suites bathrooms, minibars and desks are designed in innovative ways with no loss of practical functionality or comfort for guests.

The carpet design choice

The décor elements are matched to reinforce each other and create a certain tension between classic and contemporary design expressions.

For the third floor suites, Judith Van Mourik has specified the Papillions and Nuages carpet designs from the Atelier by Monsieur Christian Lacroix collection.

I have always loved Monsieur Christian Lacroix – his fashion is amazing and so is his artworks and drawings.

The historical profile of this property matches perfectly with the nineteen-century fashion with birds and
butterflies so the carpet design decision was easily made.

The design friendship between Monsieur Christian Lacroix and ege started 13 years ago when Monsieur Christian L acroix discovered the design possibilities of ege: “I was entering a limitless world and I soon perceived the carpet as a way of communicating… like words, like music. A carpet is like make-up too, it changes the surface.

It makes the room larger, wider or smaller. It underlines what you want to express. It is the make-up of music.”
