Print of the Week: Gerald by Cat & Xenos Mesa

New Designs

Our print of the week is ‘Gerald’ by Cat & Xenos Mesa. These colors were chosen by the designers as a great starting place for your own color story – go from neutral to bold at the click of a button. Go large scale for a modern look or smaller for something more tailored.

“This pattern was inspired by links in a chain & those funky beaded curtains. We love creating interconnecting patterns that link together seamlessly. For home decor items, we try to steer toward geometric shapes & less florals, as they appeal to the sensibilities of both men & women. Also, we feel that the use of geometric shapes gives our patterns a retro yet modern feel.”
