Herringbone












Herringbone.

On my work table, samples of fabrics, wallpaper, paint and other materials collect as I put together schemes for rooms. I sort them frequently in colors and patterns, it is like a palette.

Herringbone is a pattern I have always loved, I like the simple geometry of it, the change in threading the heddles on a loom, from 1,2,3,4, to 4,3,2,1, so simple but effective.

It is a fabric and pattern usually used for mens suits, a tweed jacket, but I like to see it on a wing back chair, a slipper chair or cover a sofa in it. Simple, dynamic, tailored.

  1. Love the William Yeoward (I presume that's the last one in the selection) Amazing bespoke naturally woven finish.
