Mixing Textures

After reading that WWD article, I have been thinking a lot about mixing textures, whether it be actual 3D elements or just the look of them. Here are some interesting pairings I found on createthatstyle.com

Le Cuir A Paris

Le Cuir A Paris textile earlier this month had some fantastic exhibitions showing off ideas that can enhance fabric, especially leather. Here are some of my faves.

I love the shapes within a shape of this briefcase. The shadows the triangles create add to the design!

How the leather of this chair was manipulated creates an amazing effect that almost looks like something you would find in a coral reef.

I love the contrast of the gold metallic paint on the cognac leather. Adds another dimension.

We found this through the wonderful world of pinterest. As lovely as it is online, we want to see it in person! Have a wonderful weekend and go out and discover something.
