Newark, NJ – Thibaut’s new “Waterlily” collection is composed of simple shapes, organic motifs, and tone-on-tone graphic patterns. Floral, trellis and arabesque designs show Asian influences and take on a soft, watercolor look. A natural color palette of jade, aqua and sand enhance the tranquil tone of the collection.

In “Kaleidoscope,” a more modern design, color radiates from sun-shaped circular forms. The background has a watercolor effect resembling handmade Asian rice paper. The design appears in subtle shades of plum, aqua, sage, smoky grey, and wheat. “Mimosa” presents festive, eye-catching flowers drawn in a stylized fashion with a stenciled hand. The large-scale design has a clean, bold, and graphic appearance. Also with a crisp modern look, “Saffron” features simplistic, organic, stylized branches. The design incorporates a linen-like texture in the background.

A more traditional look is captured in “Bayou” and “Baja.” “Bayou” is a carefree, lighthearted design with dense foliage and fishing frogs. “Baja” is an open design with loose arrangements of tropical banana leaves and palm fronds in painted vases. Both are large-scale patterns with a soft watercolor look. They appear on pale green, blue, peach and coffee grounds.

Bold and graphic style is depicted in the large medallion design “Waterloo.” The size of the pattern, precise alignment, and linen-textured background create a striking look. A graphic color contrast is also presented in the two-color design “Waterlily,” which features a simplistic rendering of Asian flowers. The branching design has a graceful, melodious feel, and is also set against a woven-textured background.

Other designs in “Waterlily” include a scrolling leafy arabesque and large-scale trellis pattern. The collection offers various linen-cotton blend and combed cotton sateen fabrics for designs such as “Bayou,” ”Mimosa,” “Baja,” and “Saffron.” The coordinating fabrics are ideal for draperies, pillows, and upholstery.
