Fabric - Schumacher

Timothy Corrigan combines an Old World sense of elegance with a California brand of ease for a debut collection of fabrics and furnishings that's chic, livable, and truly formidable. The gifted designer, whose sought-after interiors firm keeps offices in Los Angeles and Paris, looked at classic European motifs with an eye for color and comfort, creating sinuous, flowing patterns in exciting hues. A trellis motif frames colorful, curling blooms; acanthus leaves trail across gleaming silk. The palette features rich colors in bold tonalities, like corals, turquoises, and greens, as well as just-right combinations of blue and white and camel and blush pink. Coordinating decorative tapes round out the collection with subtle graphic patterns that provide the perfect finishing touch. It's all airy, sophisticated, and refreshingly easy to live with.
