Wave Check, hooked in wool, made up as a throw pillow. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
Half the lumbar is a navy windowpane grid on white, and the other half breaks into curved bands of coral, yellow, pale blue and navy pushing in from the left edge. The two ideas meet along a wavy line down the middle.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. Makes a good gift for a housewarming, a decorator friend, or a first apartment.
