The effect of restricting a color palette to simply black and white is well… not so ‘black and white’. The outcome of this chromatic odd couple ranges from classic to contemporary, from specific time periods to timeless elegance. The reason that using black and white together evokes such a large range of feelings is due to the fact that it has always been and always will be in style.

Geometry is a wonderful design tool for producing balanced work that requires intricate and detailed repetition. By using nonrepresentational shapes such as lines, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, and polygons, designers can create complex patterns that continue on infinitely and result in a complex motif that is almost mesmerizing to the eye.

Lori Weitzner, the New York-based multidisciplinary designer celebrated internationally for her distinctive wallcoverings, upholstery textiles and window casements, presents an opulent fabric line for Sahco.
All’Antica—Italian for “in the manner of ancient times”—conjures the nobility, romance and exquisite artisanship of armor and weaponry, drawing on Tibetan, Italian, Chinese, and Turkish treasures spanning the 15th to 18th centuries. All’Antica is Weitzner’s sixth collection for the German manufacturer, and, like those before it, employs a range of technically innovative methods to translate the essence of her theme into fabrics with emotional resonance. Nine patterns range from voided velvet and pleated dupioni silk to seersucker metallic prints, with a color story encompassing lush neutrals, hazy silvers, timeworn golds and bronzes, mahoganies, chocolates, and spice tones.
All’Antica is available to design professionals internationally from Sahco and in the United States from Bergamo.
