Making the Cut
- For a design that’s truly a knockout, Angle from JAB studio features an unexpected construction of quilted triangular polyester cutouts (51"w, $237 through designers; JAB.de).
- A swirling laser-cut pattern dominates Minos, a shimmering trevira designed by Michael Brummel for Kirk Brummel (55"w, $240/yd. through designers; 800/538-1880).
- The perfect room divider, Élitis’s bright Sunrise reversible, laser-cut trevira panel brings to mind a beaded wall hanging (59"w, $532 per panel through designers; Elitis.fr).
- Storm’s cotton-polyester burnout pattern has a mod vibe; its double width makes for very cool, seamless curtains (115"w, through designers; CreationBaumann.com).
- KnollTextiles’s printed burnout Mira sheer by Dorothy Cosonas takes a 1958 archival print by Ross Littell as its inspiration (60"w, $36/yd.; UrbanSourceChicago.com).
