My favorite new source- Marimekko

Y’know all those gorgeous fabrics that hang in the Crate-n-Barrel stores that separate the displays? I always notice them when I am shopping because they are so cool! They are contemporary colorful printed fabric that looks like art. Well- they use Marimekko fabrics. I stumbled upon the actual store in Silver Springs, MD. I am hooked! You will probably see a lot of it in my up coming shows. They make awesome art! I have been stretching them on a basic wooden frame that the guys built. I am loving the fact that I can make it as large as I want, I splice them up so the pattern continues from frame to frame. I also used another print for some pillows and it added the perfect punch of color. I just ordered a print for my own home (abstract pears)and they have an actual upholsterer in-store that will stretch it or upholster for you. So cool!
My only reason to share this info is that I LOVE Love Love it! My other favorite thing about the store is that they have one super talented manager/designer that is the bomb at giving advice and being very patient (I had about 20 bolts of fabric on the table)!

Michael- you rock!
