Evergreen classics

Designers are looking for new combinations of the old and new, or they reinterpret old, established patterns in a modern and casual way. Many modernist interiors gain a unique, intriguing character when complemented with old furniture, juxtaposed with new materials or finished with contemporary fabrics, modelled on those of the old times. The more versatile the design and colour schemes are, the more boldly current interior design adopts old patterns.

Patterns of decorative and upholstery fabrics inspired by classicism are often modelled on floral motifs and architectural details of antiquity. The fresh, pastel colour palette is reminiscent of Rococo: joyful interiors with a light decor and the mobility of furniture, which is close to arranging modern, open spaces.

Shiny yarn of the currently used blends in sublime colours endows the fabrics with lightness and nobility. The subdued colour scheme promotes the harmony and statics of classical compositions.

Well-designed and arranged collections of historical fabrics usually consist of several patterns. The main plant pattern is accompanied with a few coordinates exhibiting more geometric arrangements. The extensive collection is always available in several colour combinations, which complement one another to create an even wider range of design options.

Fabrics with elaborate patterns are a great choice for massive curtains in tall windows, as well as for larger pieces of upholstered furniture. Tiny patterns, like those found on ties, are usually an excellent solution for the upholstery of medallion chairs and armchairs. They look especially good with wood painted with light pastel colours. They are also great for textile tableware, complementing a stylish room. Classical designs of this kind can be matched with smooth, shiny silk or velour coordinates that repeat their colour scheme in other textures.

Textiles that take a fresh look at classical patterns are vital in contemporary design, being its perfect complementation.
