Tidewater Captures Coastal Allure

Cape Damask and Charlton Paisley

Newark, NJ – Thibaut’s new “Tidewater” collection reflects on the earthy, natural beauty of sandy beaches, wetland marshes, local grasses, pine trees, and Spanish oak. Sumptuous damasks, rich paisley and floral patterns, stately stripes, and woven plaids embrace the area’s cultural focus on historic preservation while maintaining focus on today’s styles. Rich reds, browns, sage, khaki, sisal, pine, and other colors taken from nature make the patterns look handsome and elegant, while some of the slate and sand tones give the designs a cool appearance.

Lush foliage intermixed with exotic birds, shells, coral, aloe and cactus give coastal flair to the historic design “Low Country.” Browns, beiges, and stone blue give the pattern a rustic feel. Chairs, ottomans, and other furnishings can be upholstered with “Heritage Houndstooth,” a classic woven houndstooth fabric in a coordinating color palette.

The large Jacobean pattern “Dorchester” is a stylized interpretation of plantation flora. The grand scale of the design and rich colors yield a clean, polished look. This design pairs well with the woven detail found in “Oakley Plaid,” a wallpaper design taken from an antique textile. “Charlton Paisley,” another large-scale design, is an intricate rendition of a vintage print with fine, detailed accents. The paisley pattern also comes in a printed fabric. “Cape Damask,” a soft woven chenille fabric, is an additional decorating option for furnishings.

Botanical ferns overlay a tailored stripe background in “Sylvan.” The design is sophisticated yet has a relaxed, cabin-like appeal. A simple coordinating pattern, “Sylvan Stripe,” replicates the look, but without the ferns. In the grand-scale design “Beaufort Damask,” a metallic overlay and worn strie background capture the elegance of an antique woven document. The design comes in metallic over red, brown, and olive grounds, as well as in cream, teal, and black colorways.

“Carolina” is a stylized floral design influenced by the Arts & Crafts era. It has a tapestry feel with a creative, lyrical stitched technique. A grass weave can be found in “Colleton,” a coordinating woven fabric. The fabric imparts a soft, natural, and casual elegance to upholstered furnishings.

Large, stylized clusters of sea oats, caladium, ferns and coastal grasses are found in “Sweet Grass.” The pattern has a poetic, toile-like quality, and pairs beautifully with “Tidewater Velvet,” a plush, supple velvet in a broad range of colors from navy and ebony to camel and aqua.

Printed and woven companion fabrics complimenting the above designs can be found in Thibaut’s “Tidewater” Prints and Woven Collections.
