Dominoes presents a nice interplay between flat and raised surfaces. We're not sure what we like better about it—the elegant zigzag pattern or the saturated colorways it comes in (avocado, cashew, and bayleaf among them).

Mark Pollack has been making magical fabrics for years—so his latest collection, Fabricadabra, comes as no surprise. A blend of cotton, linen, polyester, viscose, and Lurex fibers, Fabricadabra wows with a complex pattern of vertical and horizontal rhythms.

Crate & Barrel may have popularized Maija Isola's Unikko pop floral pattern, but—design snobs to the core—we've always favored Isola's lesser-known works, like Tuuli. First produced in 1972, it captures the serenity of nature with its realist-style rendering. At Textile Arts.

Metaphores& p>

Arc en Ciel ("rainbow" in French) lives up to its name. The radiant velvet features a variegated stripe, which incorporates a blend of subtly shimmering yarns. At Donghia.

Part elegant flame stitch and part mod zigzag, Menorca aims to energize. Like the bulk of the company's Black & White collection, the fabric, an open-knit weave made of Trevira, is suitable for drapery and decorative accents.

Tcha-Tcha, Isatis, and Galatée present a textural trio. Tcha-Tcha by Kenzo features fine linen with embroidered elements. Isatis is a multilevel stripe that plays with silken and matte finishes. For truly luxurious hand, there's Galatée, a velvet whose waves were inspired by the gentle curves of Lalique crystal. By Old World Weavers, a division of Stark Carpet.
