chilewich | placemat rectangle | overshot tiger eye
Dimensions: 36 x 48cm
Material: Terrastrand yarns with 25% renewable vegetable content. 100% phthalate free.
With lively yet refined rows of interlocking concentric circles, Overshot is a contemporary interpretation of traditional textiles. It is named for a weave structure with a long history and a distinctive construction: as the weft yarn jumps or "shoots" over the foundational plain weave of the warp yarns, a decorative pattern layer is created.
This design takes inspiration from vintage American coverlets. Used as the topmost covering on a bed and distinct from quilts, these woven textiles were especially popular during the early to mid- nineteenth century. The earliest examples were made with an overshot weave, and this craft continues today.

At home in both residential and commercial spaces around the world, Chilewich products are designed at their New York City studio. Led by creative director Sandy Chilewich, their design team includes master weavers who develop and refine innovative patterns and multi-tonal colours for collections that are renewed seasonally.
Their desire for artistic expression is balanced by their commitment to reaching a broad audience - one that spans cultures, tastes, and income levels - and to creating products that retain their beauty and functionality over decades of daily use.
Containing a minimum of 18% renewable vegetable content, their woven textiles are made entirely in the United States. The Chilewich factory in Chatsworth, Georgia, produces approximately 40,000 placemats a week. This 127,500-square-foot space is also where various backings are bonded to their textiles to create products for a range of applications.
Click for more ideas from Sandy Chilewich (designer)Sandy Chilewich has a unique and personal design aesthetic that revolutionised two distinct industries and, indeed, the modern design world. She is a true entrepreneur and a leader in the business of design, having taken the style conscious consumer from legwear to tableware - quite a leap, but the translation appears effortless.
One of the highlights of her design career is the Raybowl - introduced in 1997, the bowls are made from netting (usually found in lingerie). The bowl uses a simple yet highly inventive mechanism to transform the fabric into a concave shape. In this same experimenting vein Sandy looked at Vinyl - commonly considered to be an industrial material - and saw the possibility for placemats, flooring, fashion accessories and more. Through combining style with the durability inherent in these materials Sandy has opened up a world of possibilities! Sandy continues to seek new uses for existing textiles and weaves, working out of a New York City studio.
