I was fabric sourcing at the design center yesterday and found myself drawn to this classic tumbling cube pattern for a desk chair on a project at Osbourne & Little. It seems modern and yet I know it’s based on a historical pattern (and seems very French in a way). I then starting noticing it everywhere!
The same tumbling cube pattern seen in a gorgeous marble floor…
At Axel Vervoort’s castle some fo the floors are this pattern in parquetry. Amazing (the rest I could do without).

Then I became kind of obsessed with this Pierre Hardy bag and iPad sleeve (if I had an iPad, which I think I need to cave and get)! So classic and not as overdone like the similar Goyard prints.
These iPhone cases add just a hint of it to your life.
Or maybe just a throw like this Adler one….
Still trying to find a great rug version of this pattern. I think it could be gorgeous is light neutrals to ease the dizzying effect it can sometimes have. Any thoughts? Seen one?
I think I would wobble around the kitchen if I had the floor. I love the iPhone cases though.
paint it on canvas for the floor!
pve
love love love that marbled floor in the more subdued shades.
Sounds like a job for http://www.customcoolrugs.com/

These actually do remind me very much of Goyard bags!

Amazing right?
It makes me nauseous!
I am a lurker I don’t usually comment.HOWEVER http://www.deborahbowness.com/wallpaper/utility-tiles.html gotta say really cool.
Love the iPhone cases and the throw…but it really reminds me of playing Qbert as a kid!
I really love the kitchen floor… and the La Cornue oven! xo, B
I have the Pierre Hardy bag with black straps, and I always get a ton of compliments. It’s great to wear with a lot of neutrals. Also great for traveling as a carry-on.
Mmmmm….not so much. franki
My brother painted this pattern on his walls in place he lived in, in London. It was a larger scale, really cool idea for an entry way where he had it.
I love them but my eyes disagree. I feel like I’m going cross-eyed! What a shame :(
Old Arabic origins, in quilts the pattern is called ‘tumbling blocks’ and has been around forever. It’s very three dimensional looking, don’t know as I would want it large on a floor or it would be called ‘tumbling woman’.
Thats a yes for the iphone cases!http://www.styledbysheena.com
