The soft geometry of our A Midi-Mini pattern evokes a mid-century spirit - we're thinking about a dirty martini, or an ice-cold gimlet - pretty much anything that goes in a chilled coupe. For this set, we mixed a few of our most saturated hues and popped them with contrast merrow-edge stitching detail, all in rich primary colors (all of which look great with, say, olives or limes - but we'll defer to you to pick your accoutrements!).
Each cocktail napkin is made start to finish in Los Angeles, California: the fabric is first printed by hand by our master printers there; it's then washed for maximum softness at a family-run wash house down the road; finally, the team at ATELIER SAUCIER expertly cuts, sews and trims each one before it makes its way to your bar.
About A Midi - Mini (the pattern) : Hand-drawn natural forms. Stained glass. The geometry of water.
A modern take on an ebullient 1940’s pattern that emanated heritage American quilting patterns called “Arcadia.” A Midi was reimagined for the present using a two-inch square within Arcadia’s larger patchwork of patterns. We loved the shapes and the linework, and even in miniature it had a strong personality of its own.
A Midi then emerged into three different scales – Mini (seen here); inverted and enlarged for ‘A Midi – Moyen’ (fabric only); and in an even more dramatic scale for ‘A Midi – Grand ‘(wallpaper only). The collection’s palette is designed to be united together as a strong unit, or to be paired with any of our other more elaborate multi-color patterns.
"Arcadia", an electrifying patchwork pattern from our 1943 'Trend of the Times' collection, was a study in maximalism in its original iteration.
We took a small section of Arcadia's happy geometric cacophony and blew it up to give it an identity of its own. The birth of A Midiin three different scales meant that we could finally herald the soft, hand-drawn doodles properly.
A midi - 'noon' in French - is when the reflection of the sunlight in the water hits just right, and the ocean's surface appears to dance as the waves ebb and flow. Yeah...it's a mood.
