New Placemats
Fall/Winter 2022
New Colors
New Weaves
CHORD
Combining geometric rigor with a quieter surface, Chord was designed to offer foundational texture — at once refined and distinctive. This dobby weave has an inviting, natural look that evokes the woven rush of tatami mats.
DAISY
Taking the playful form of a tightly clustered bouquet of daisies as viewed from above, this flexible openwork placemat acts as a decorative base for whatever is placed on top. It is delicate in appearance yet surprisingly resilient: a contemporary interpretation of both classic florals and the ancient craft of lace-making.
TAMBOUR
Revealing patterns within patterns and stripes within stripes, Tambour was developed through an iterative process of combining multiple weaves into one harmonious design. It explores novel ways to showcase vibrant color, balancing the horizontal and the vertical to create a versatile visual rhythm.
TWIST
Inspired by the abstract illusions of Op Art, Twist combines layered curves and softened zigzags with the depth of a woven textile. This larger-scaled design was developed by Chilewich’s master weaver, who began by cutting shapes out of paper to experiment with composition, overlay effects, and negative space. The result is a vibrant surface traced by undulating lines.
Don't Forget the "Other" Shapes
