Geometric Design

St. Christopher Wallpaper, by Given Campbell "Given Campbell does compositions of everyday images that form wonderful, geometric patterns. I just love what happens to the airplanes in this pattern. I would like to use this, shown here in Above the Clouds colorway, for one of my aviation clients." givencampbell.com, through Havilande Whitcomb Design

Vintage Lamp "Ellen Scarborough is a great resource for unusual things. This dramatic, oversize lamp, with its geometric cutouts, reminds me of Matisse’s late work. It’s glazed white with a dark yellow inside. I usually bring my finds to The Accessory Store for shades, and they can rewire anything." Ellen Ward Scarborough Antiques, Stamford, (203) 329-0100, ellenwardscarboroughantiques.com

Vintage Club Chair "I am always looking for great pieces that have good lines and can be repurposed. This chair was found in one of the multi-dealer warehouses in Stamford. I reupholstered it in a black-and-white houndstooth fabric from Lee Jofa, which imparts a classic pattern onto the form of the simple geometry of this chair." Similar chairs through Hiden Galleries, Stamford, (203) 363-0003, hidengalleries.net

Jalli by Judy Ross "With hints of traditional and modern in its color tones of cantaloupe silk and ivory, this rug would form an interesting backdrop for a room that needs a fresh look. I like that rather than perfect shapes, the lines of this geometry look hand-formed and natural." Judy Ross Textiles, New York City, (212) 842-1705, judyrosstextiles.com
