As I'm sure you've deduced by now, I'm absolutely taken with John Stefanidis' fabrics. The colors are so vivid; the designs so opulent and rich. And with such exotic pattern names, don't you feel like you've been transported back in time to Shanghai, Constantinople, or Venice?
I have so many favorites in the line, and I'm very anxious to use some of them soon for a project (hopefully for me!). Mr. Stefanidis has just added some new prints to the line for Spring 2008, so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!
"Gonfaloniere" in cotton. A Gonfaloniere was a prestigious government post in Italy during the Renaissance. These distinguished citizens wore coats with elaborate embroidery which inspired this fabric design.
"Emma" in cotton; inspired by a 1730's English woven silk.
"Udaiphur" cotton fabric. I think this is one of my favorites.
"Fishbones" in cotton.
"Esrajim Stripe" in cotton sateen.

These are great -of course I have my eye on the first, black and white, fabric. I'm not going to try and spell it - you know my limitations!
ReplyDeletePatricia- I had to triple check my spelling on that one!
ReplyDeleteI love the Stefanidis fabrics - Caroline Webster at Stefanidis sent me some lovely samples a few months back. I hold their firm in the highest respect. Not only is his work amazing, but Caroline as his rep. couldn't be more kind, professional or accomodating.
ReplyDeleteAnne- I couldn't agree more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great red room!
ReplyDeleteCourtney- I know; it's one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out this website and I'm still whirling from happiness, design delight and inspiration! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulie- I know! Stefanidis is a true master!
ReplyDeleteYum,yum,YUM!There has gotta be somewhere around here where I could use that Udaiphur stuff.Ummm,is there a chic design phrase that corresponds to "eyes too big for your stomach"...something along the lines of "house too small for my fabric lust"?!?
ReplyDeleteBarbara- I feel your pain- there are SO MANY fabrics I want... but where will I use it all??!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a favorite of mine too. Lucky you to use such wonderful fabrics (hopefully!)
