Rev it Chevron
What's Hot Style
-- Home Accents Today, 10/1/2008
Call it zigzag, the character “V” or herringbone, chevron sparks plenty of excitement this season with a cool and modern attitude dating back to the days of Art Deco. Today’s version boasts rich jeweled hues and great graphic style that goes from under the radar to high-octane, optically speaking. How about a “V” for victory? — Tracy Bulla
The melamine Mosaic platter from French Bull spins the chevron motif in a dizzying explosion of color and pattern ($25). Alternating bands of color converge in the classic “V” shape, framing the exotic Kiyonaga mirror from CAS. Chevron stripes graduate from pale to deep jewel tones in rich velvet from Dransfield & Ross. Plush and chunky-knit, the Ziggy throws from Sanford Design equate bold tactile appeal with eye-popping zigs and zags. Dramatic saber legs accentuate the neoclassic roots of Belle Meade Signature’s table, crowned by Deco-era starburst macassar ebony. Hand-tufted in pure new wool and flax, Mat the Basics’ Buffalo rug boosts graphic geometry out of the ordinary with lush texture in tart citrine.
Hand-engraved crystal refracts prisms of light through herringbone in Artel’s rainbow-hued tumblers ($871, set of six assorted).
Contrast chevron motifs ring Oscar de la Renta’s chic design for Oriental Accent.
