Toiles de Brugge & Brooklyn, Chattanooga, Haarlemmermeer, Paris, Tilba, Le Roy, Riverside, and Yosano
Last week's contest challenge required designers to create Toile de Jouy fabrics inspired by the histories of the places where they live. The top ten offer a world tour as well as a set of mini-history lessons, with toiles de Brooklyn (NY), Chattanooga (TN), Haarlemmermeer (Netherlands), Paris, Tilba (Australia), Le Roy (NY), Riverside (CA), and Yosano (Japan). For the second week in a row, however, the winner is a Belgian designer (we erred in last week's newsletter when we wrote that Zesti was Dutch). Cally, of Forest&Sea, won the most votes with her fascinating "Medieval Woodcut" toile depicting Brugge, Belgium. Lovely work!
