Be it Picasso or Descartes, Euclid or DaVinci, the artist and the scientist both depend upon basic geometric principles to define space. From a single point in space to the multiple lines of a grid or the curve on a graph, the foundation of creativity starts with these basic elements. From painters to physicists, blank canvases are filled with points, lines, grids and curves. Each pattern of the Back to Basics™ Collection highlights one of these elements, celebrating its essence and reminding us that beginnings are beautiful things.

Graph

Designing a woven fabric is impossible without drafting on graph paper. This grid weave pays homage to the basis of all woven structures.

Line

Lush boucle mimics the linear wales of corduroy, while an added layer of smooth, irregularly spaced lines breaks the simple horizontal.
