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.

Chilewich is a design-led textile brand that brings together material innovation, craftsmanship, and modern sensibility. Known globally for its distinctive woven surfaces, the company transforms high-performance materials into refined, enduring pieces for the home and beyond.
Founded by Sandy Chilewich, the brand operates from its New York studio, where experimentation and technical development sit at the core of the design process. Chilewich has built its reputation on rethinking what textiles can be, elevating utilitarian materials into objects that are both practical and quietly expressive.
At the centre of the collection is the brand’s signature woven vinyl. Engineered for durability yet defined by subtle texture and considered colour, it reflects a balance of performance and aesthetics. The result is a range of products that are easy to maintain, resilient in daily use, and designed to retain their integrity over time.
Chilewich approaches design with clarity and restraint. Each pattern and palette is developed to complement a space rather than dominate it, offering a foundation that feels contemporary yet timeless. From tabletop pieces to floor coverings and architectural applications, the work is unified by a consistent commitment to simplicity and precision.
Sustainability is an ongoing priority. The company continues to refine its manufacturing processes, focusing on responsible material use, reduced waste, and long product life cycles.
Through a considered approach to material, function, and form, Chilewich has established itself as a leader in modern textile design, creating products that integrate seamlessly into everyday living while elevating the spaces they inhabit.
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.
