The Scots are so attached to their traditional ornament that they even dedicated a holiday to it. We made a selection of checkered things to say goodbye to the fall, with which it is associated with us

Mindful of her pedigree, we call this type of cell simply Scottish. The very same word "tartan" comes from the Gaelic tuar tan and means "color of the terrain".

In Scotland, a country with a dank climate, woolen capes and kilt-skirts decorated with a checkered pattern have long been worn. It is believed that for the first time it was used in the III century. According to the color of the cell, it was determined from which edge the newcomer and to which he belongs to the clan, since each region was owned by one or another kind. Such an ancient ID.

Now the Scotch is called not only the pattern, but also the fabric on which it is applied. And in modern history, she remained thanks to Queen Victoria, who introduced him to fashion already in the whole of Great Britain.

This season a real checkered boom broke out: you can find such tiles, carpets, lamps and even furniture, for example, a Tartan L bed designed by Ferruccio Laviani for EMMEMOBILI with a headboard in the form of a characteristic weave.
