First, one of my favorite textile designers from Brooklyn, Aviva Stanoff, unveiled some new pieces. This happened a while ago, but they still deserve to be seen. Stanoff creates textures and amazing color effects in the velvet with real live plants and flowers, which impressed me so much when I first discovered her work and interviewed her for the story. She also has one of the most impeccable eyes for color that I've ever seen.
I was also made aware of some new products from Chilewich. Their table linens are all very earth-toned and neutral, from what I can tell. I definitely need some super glossy, shocking bright orange vases arranged on this first table. But the settings are still wonderfully textural:
This one I thought had a vaguely Asian sort of sensibility to it, very minimal and classy:
This Dot table runner looks like fine linen, but it's actually a new interpretation of an outdated pressed vinyl manufacturing process:
