Crosspatch Grounded by Charles & Ray Eames

“The details are not the details. They make the design.” - Charles Eames

If you love the look of modern decor, the pioneering modernist industrial designs of Charles and Ray Eames will appeal to you. The Eames's iconic textile designs translated abstract art into useful, everyday objects.

Crosspatch Grounded is a quintessentially "Eames" decorator fabric. The Crosspatch design originated as the Eames's entry into a textile competition held by the Museum of Modern Art in 1947. Four designs were submitted - the other three being Dot, Small Dot and Circles - but only Crosspatch went into production at the time.

This fantastic fabric has a vibrant and ever fresh retro design of x's and dots within blocks. The solid blocks measure about 5/8" x 5/8" while the outlined boxes are slightly smaller. Keep in mind that the block sizes vary. The fabulous colors in Crosspatch Grounded include chocolate, gray, taupe and light olive over a tan background.

Crosspatch Grounded by Charles and Ray Eames can be used to make pillows, wall-hangings, seat cushions, slipcovers, table covers, draperies, curtains, handbags, garments and more.
