If you can’t tell by the it list’s virtual wallpaper I’m a fan of Damask. The swirly, large floral patterns traditionally associated with formal interiors, now appear in fun, contrasting colors for a modern twist.
The other reason for its comeback is that damask now appears on all kinds of new materials besides silks and linens. I’m not about to battle a roll of wallpaper (but if you are check out Osborne and Little), but maybe I’ll take a spin in this funky Ikea contribution “ the Lunna Swivel Chair (also has a matching footstool). I’ve also seen damask done well on a few skirts, but that can be a fine line between looking glam’ and looking like a cushion.
In their new, bold form, damasks can give a modern twist to a traditional interior or add a touch of tradition to a modern room. [via The NY Times]

I really like damask too, but I never knew what it was called. thanks. and I’m glad to see that it’s coming into it’s own.
I love this chair and this site. Another eco chic company I am hearing a buzz about: yumiandlaurie.com. Check out these beautiful organic cotton and bamboo throw blankets. I can use these anywhere; indoors, outdoors, and they are so bold and beautiful. I found this company on many eco chic green sites so I thought I would pass the info. along!
