Traveling the world in search of patterns…

I was scanning through my I-Photo library the other day and realized I have a major place in my heart for geometric patterns. I love them on the ceilings, as room dividers, as window shutters, marble tiled floors, gates and front doors! And whenever I travel, I take photos of these patterns. Take a look at a few I have seen in trips in the past few years.

I love using geometry in spaces I design. They show up in fabric selections a lot but I find I am drawn the most to putting them on the floor.

Here is a carpet for a client that is being hand knotted in a custom color as we speak!

If you haven’t fallen in love with Madeline Weinrib’s carpets, you will. She does geometrics so well. Here is one we did in a client’s house in South Boston.

We all have photo libraries fills with pictures of trips gone by. Have you been in any trips where you seen something that has inspired you?
