Geometric patterns can feel both timeless and contemporary. From historic architecture and mosaics to the sharp lines of modern cityscapes, repeated shapes, angles and curves have long provided inspiration for decorative design.
This 2013 archive article presented four ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ graphic carrés (square silk twill scarves), each exploring geometric lines, abstract forms and color in a 27x27” format. Explore our silk twill scarf collections!
► ZEN: a small character moves through a colorful composition of lines and paths. The design combines soft curves, stripes and contrasting colors, allowing different sections of the pattern to appear depending on the fold.
► BUBBLE: from lines to circles, this design recalls the changing sizes and colors of soap bubbles. Different folds reveal different combinations of its circular motifs and multicolor palette.
► QUBE: swirling geometric shapes suggest cubes or dominoes in motion. Teal — highlighted in the original article as a 2013 seasonal color — provides the dominant tone, contrasted with the graphic pattern.
► SPRING: depending on how it is folded and tied, different parts of this multicolor design become dominant. That makes the scarf especially useful for demonstrating how a single square pattern can create several visual effects.
These archive photographs show how geometric scarf designs can change substantially once folded, tied and worn.
