Like many, our infatuation with\u00a0Scalamandr\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0began when we first met eyes with their iconic\u00a0leaping Zebras<\/a>. This historic and lively depiction of prancing zebras fleeing a hunter’s arrow has cemented itself in the popular imagination. The signature backdrop, first developed for Gino’s Restaurant in a marinara sauce colored red, has appeared on the big screen in\u00a0Mighty Aphrodite<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Royal Tenenbaums<\/em>. What’s most exciting about Scalamandr\u00e9, though, is the depth and breadth of their library, which includes everything from serious cut velvets to lighthearted conversationals. In celebration of our partnership with the legendary textile stockist, we’re looking back at some of our favorite Scalamandr\u00e9 moments.<\/p>\n

PARISIAN ELEGANCE<\/h3>\n

This Parisian library boasts a vintage sofa and 1970s chair upholstered in Aldeco cotton velvets from Scalamandr\u00e9. We love how these\u00a0luxe velvets<\/a>\u00a0introduce memorable hits of blue and green into a space that’s otherwise dominated by its wooden features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

INSPIRED BY LEE<\/h3>\n

When we spot a sofa in tiger velvet, we immediately think of Lee Radziwill. The style icon made us fall in love with this Scalamandr\u00e9 fabric, and designer Melanie Turner has us taking a second look. Tiger stripes set the tone for her fresh take on this Atlanta living room, especially when set against a backdrop featuring contemporary pieces by a Dutch photographer and a Danish painter (both of which nod to the Old Masters).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A POP OF PATTERN<\/h3>\n

When looking to add the perfect pop of pattern to this dining area, New Orleans-based designer Shaun Smith turned to Scalamandr\u00e9. We love how the fabric enhances his mix of old and new, sleek and warm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

YOUTHFUL SPLENDOR<\/h3>\n

We love twin beds that make a statement (more on that\u00a0here<\/a>). In this bedroom by Nick Olsen, a cheerful pair of twins steals the show. They’re upholstered in “La Fenetre Ouverte” (translation: “the open window”) by Scalamandr\u00e9\u2014a whimsical floral that has us longing for springtime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MOD ZEBRAS<\/h3>\n
\n

An up-and-coming interior designer who is also a\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0contributor and founding member of The Wing, Ariel Okin knows how to artfully place patterns of the past into spaces of the present. Case in point: this Upper West Side apartment that features throw pillows<\/a> in Scalamandr\u00e9’s Safari Brown\u00a0Zebra fabric<\/a>. The zebras offer a lighthearted and relevant twist to the edited living room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SCALAMANDRE SKI HOUSE<\/h3>\n

Every room needs bit of unexpected pattern. In this traditional Vail ski home, Scalamandr\u00e9’s Leopardo Silk Velvet offers that element of surprise. We’re obviously obsessed with the Frog chair on which the fabric rests. Tr\u00e8s chic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A CHEERY BATHROOM<\/h3>\n
\n

Designed by Miles Redd, this kids’ bath feels playful yet sophisticated. We love how Redd juxtaposes the bouncing zebras with the sharp lines of the Escher tiles. It leaves us dreaming about creating a\u00a0cube<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0zebra<\/a>\u00a0mix of our own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TRUE ECLECTICISM<\/h3>\n

The Mexico retreat of two LA-based antique dealers is a collected medley of old and new\u2014a case of both spontaneous decoration and controlled restraint. Their antique Jacob-Desmalter sofa is upholostered in, unsurprisingly, the iconic Scalamandr\u00e9 tiger velvet. How about that green?!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ON-TREND TROPICALS<\/h3>\n

This is not your grandmother’s beach house. This stylish, tropical (but not too tropical) bedroom features a\u00a0Modern Platform Bed<\/a>\u00a0in the ultra-cool Lapis Lanai by Scalamandr\u00e9, along with a\u00a0Cube Ottoman<\/a>\u00a0in the timeless Tan Baldwin Bamboo, a\u00a0Throw Pillow<\/a>\u00a0in the never-before-seen Henna Cheetah, and a\u00a0Scalloped Screen<\/a>\u00a0in Porcelain Coquina.<\/p>\n

With designs at the Kennedy White House, Hearst Castle, and The Metropolitan Opera, Scalamandr\u00e9 will always hold a prominent place in interior design history. Yet there’s something about this collection of rooms and their idiosyncrasies that reminds us how, when mixed in new and interesting ways, the fabrics of yesterday feel more relevant than ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
