What better way to express the idea of ​​order than rows of geometric figures? Diamonds and Christmas tree, zigzags and peas ... Today, active, optimistic combinations of colors, play of contrasts, clarity of forms are in fashion. In short, everything is in order!

Geometric patterns in modern textile design can be read as a book of styles and stylistic trends of the twentieth century. The characteristic “Christmas tree”, circles in the form of bagels and ovals were created under the influence of ar-deco, black and white contrasting ornaments - op-art (optical art) of the 60s, zigzags from the 70s of the 20th century. And since, at the junction of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, there was an extraordinary interest in oriental cultures, the European geometric ornament included typical details of oriental patterns in its arsenal, in its own way reworking the Moroccan grid and Central Asian rhombuses. Woven on silk and wool of excellent quality, they are interpreted today in a rather glamorous way. Who would have thought that the good old Empire style would join modern styles? Today's textile fashion borrows from it the Greek wave. Perfectly clear ornament! Checked for centuries.
