Hella good (oh man I couldn't resist, I'm so sorry.):Hella Jongerius's pattern Repeat, commissioned by Maharam, are designed "to create a single textile which would permit a suite of chairs around a table to be cousins – each unique but all related". She takes four seemingly unrelated patterns (stripes, polka dots, florals, houndstooth, etc) and unifies them all through a color theme. I encountered some this summer while working in the sample library, and this stuff is neat in person; the texture is just as interesting as the color and pattern.
