Plaids

L'ECOSSAIS

the French expression means"the Scots", and ever since they adopted this iconic weave, it has been reinterpreted a million different ways; in stunning bright shades, discreet 2-tone, blown-up and oversized, mixed and matched, painted on, woven in, nailed down and walked over; plaids are never far away in fashion or interior design, transformed again in yet a new incarnation.

black and white: a very modern take on a very old geometric pattern;

pair it with matching mosaic tiles, and you have a fabulous batroom

like a row of English country gentlemen, ready for lunch

what a difference a two-tone check makes on a very familiar chair

why does this embroidered interpretation make such a strong impression?

oversized pattern, amazing colors, and repetitive grouping

Caravane, Paris

a happy tartan effect on this kitchen window by Christopher Coleman;
looks like a modern painting, works like a window shade

a neo-classical take on the check carpet;
the modernism of blending nuances of one shade
