A check that has been allowed to go off the straight. The lines bend, the squares are not square, and the whole grid moves slightly as though it had been drawn freehand. Luke Edward Hall says it feels rather 1970s to him, and it does.
The construction is a jacquard technique that simulates the surface of an épinglé velvet, which is why a viscose cloth of 990 g still drapes instead of boarding up. It takes 55,000 Martindale rubs, so it will hold up as upholstery on something used every day, and the weight gives a good square edge on a cushion or a seat. 140 cm wide, 17 cm vertical repeat, three colourways, made in Italy.
