How it all started

Florence Bourel has 20 years experience in creation and design : furniture, objects, scenography and Art Direction for various Parisian and European clients.

2012 is a year of new inspiration and rich artistic encounters. The French brand Toulemonde Bochart asked her to design a new rug for their famous Designer Collection. At the same time, she started a collaboration with the French-Turkish company Kilims Ada. She is now designing several collections a year, across Europe, India, Nepal and Turkey.

Creation of carpets has become a real passion. Florence has recently extended her creative field to the pattern and surface design for home furnishing (wallpapers, fabrics…). In her daring rugs and patterns, she uses powerful colors in smart and audacious graphics, playing a mix of textures and materials.

About work and inspiration

Rugs and patterns represent an endless field of creation. Florence plays with color and texture, varying tactile or visual sensations. She imagines graphic landscapes, textures and colors emerge and bring out refined and timeless lines.

Florence learns from the work of craftsmen (weavers, dyers, embroiderers…), from the traditional motifs and techniques she discovered in India, Nepal and Turkey. By reinterpreting the elements of the past from different continents, or by imagining strong colored atmospheres, Florence Bourel invites you to step into her unique and powerful creative universe, combining influences, styles and materials.
