PATTERN ALERT: IS CHAIN LINK THE NEW TRELLIS

 

Anne Spiro

Since the moment, a few years ago, when Kelly Wearstler’s Imperial Trellis hit the scene, the trellis pattern has become a staple for most soft furnishings vendors.  Intersecting lines have intertwined in an unending variety trellis designs ranging form simple to elaborate.  Now, it seems a new trend is emerging of a trellis stipe or chain link for lack of a better name.

In this new version of the classic motif the interlocking pattern runs in a directional stripe as a border or as a repeating stripe.

The overall design of these chain link patterns is more sleek and sharp in its delineation with harder angles and thinner surface width.

Simplicity is the key and these new patterns seem to be more about exploring the relationship between positive and negative space rather than creating an equality in it.

Harder lines and angles make for a more modern look.

Even the DIY world is picking up on the trend with stripes of trellis linking in chains down one wall as a highlight.

This wallpaper pattern overlaps a chain link pattern in a simple graphic design.

Love this.  Nice pattern, great colors, especially the aqua and turquoise with this orange red.

Designer Trina Turk imparts a tribal feeling to this faceted design.  Tribal and modern southwest designs are popping up everywhere and take these patterns in a whole new direction that imparts an ethnic vibe.

This intricate pattern created with the applique of decorative trim on the face of this pillow has an almost aboriginal look that blends well with new emerging trends.

 

Anna Spiro has designed a striking wallpaper collection for Porters Paints.  Just recently released at DesignEx I am looking forward to having brunch @ Porter's on Thursday so i can see the whole collection!

This wallpaper from Anne Spiro in Australia also feels as if it were taken straight from a piece of aboriginal folk art. I think we will see the evolution of this chain link look into bolder and more colorful ethnic designs as these design trends come full circle.
