New Weaves
MESA
Developed with an eye to the robust textures and expansive scales of the natural world, Mesa is a modern interpretation of basketry: the ancient craft of making interwoven objects. Subtle changes within the weave create a multifaceted surface that unites graphic lines, veiling shapes, and richly textured edges that form a soft-edged frame.
PEBBLE
Exceptional in its versatility, Pebble is a richly textured canvas for Chilewich's nuanced approach to neutrals. This double weave connects its organic inspiration—the form of a small stone rounded by the action of water—to graphic precision, reimagining the lively simplicity and tactile elements of mid-century modern design for the spaces of today.
SAMPLER
In Sampler, paired rectangles come together, introducing a distinctive weave as they overlap. This dynamic design is inspired by samplers that were used to learn and demonstrate darning: a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric by replicating the structure of the original material. Dating back to at least the 18th century, these samplers typically covered small pieces of cloth in darning "blocks" of various weave structures in a variety of colors—especially blue, green, red, and yellow yarns—to make intricacies visible and show the weaver's skill.
