Inspired by the Maria Clara gown, a historic ensemble rooted in Philippine tradition, Brintons‘ new TERNO carpet collection draws on the Philippine heritage of the brand’s Senior Designer, Cherise Porretto.
Drawing on the Maria Clara garment’s distinctive use of layered fabric and colour, the design references one particular element known as dos paños, or ‘two cloths’. This layer symbolises the balance created when contrasting elements are brought together. With this new collection, Cherise has translated the concept into contemporary surface design through considered pattern, harmonious colour relationships, and rich texture.
The collection features seven distinct plaid patterns, each defined by contrast and balance. Embroidery-inspired details intersect with saturated colour, creating dynamic compositions that range from striking to refined and offer designers flexibility across a variety of interiors.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
