Papaya and Ginger Stripe
Newark, NJ – Created to invigorate a sense of artistic
expression, Thibaut’s new “Chelsea” collection
features designs that enliven the home. Adapted from original artwork, patterns
range from charming retro designs to chic modern interpretations of classic
styles. The juxtaposition of bold and soft colors lends versatility to the
collection while exciting the imagination. Printed and woven companion fabrics
with swirling embroideries, cotton stripes, festive chenille dots and geometric
patterns can be found in “Chelsea” Prints and Woven
Fabric collections.
“Coco,” a floral design based on original artwork,
has colorful, stylized chrysanthemums and whimsical flowers. The design captures
a joyous look with a fun, retro charm, and is featured in soft spring yellows,
blues and pinks as well as subdued beiges and browns. “Metropolis
Stripe” cotton fabric, showcasing similar colors, is a great
complement for throw pillows. In contrast, “Java” wallpaper
has a glamorous appeal with sparkly, frosted beads in a large curvy and tactile
scroll design. The scroll pattern overlays metallic coffee, and iced teal grounds,
as well as blue and pearl.
A chic trellis outlines a metallic monogram shape in “Cosmopolitan.” The
bold, large-scale design has a modern flair and is featured in classy shades
of beige, brown, and sage. “Pearl
Trellis,” a
coordinating ogee design woven fabric, provides a stylish contemporary look
on upholstered chairs and furnishings. “Sassafras,” another
trellis design wallpaper, has petite trees framed by a metallic lattice. The
delicate pattern suits either a contemporary or traditional setting. “Ginger
Stripe” fabric, a thin stripe with a rippled effect, gives a
lighthearted look on bedding, draperies, and throw pillows, complemeting this
design and many others in the collection.
With a crafty feel, “Papaya” is a branching floral
design with large, exotic flowers printed on fibrous, textural paper. “Joli
Trail,” a simple silhouette trailing design with leaves and
berry accents, is also printed on natural, earthy paper. This is a one-color
pattern with soft, shimmering metallics incorporated into some of the fibrous
papers. “Hawthorne
Herringbone” woven fabric coordinates
well with these and other designs.
Large, dramatic scrolls and geometric leaves create a hip, graphic look in “Mojito.” The
pattern comes in a striking black and white colorway. The vivid scroll design
also appears in off-white on sage, butter, denim and mineral blue, and in metallic
beige on brown. “Starlight,” a contemporary interpretation
of a batik document, has stylized leaves, spherical shapes, and a background
scroll pattern that creates a layered look.
The collection also features a magnificent medallion design, “Herndon,” with
a worn, woven textural appearance, and “Fulton
Stripe,” with
thin metallic lines overlaying a textural grassy background. Additional printed
and woven companion fabrics in “Chelsea” Prints and
Woven Collections include a basket weave geometric pattern called “Times
Square;” “Doodledot,” a chenille
multi-colored dot design; “Ribbon
Embroidery,” an
embroidered ribbon pattern; and “Roundabout,” a
woven fabric with a geometric design of interlocking circles. The fabrics add
interest without stealing the show.
