Basketweave is a lovely simple pattern which adds a non-directional
elegant background to modern and traditional styles. This
one is made in African sipo mahogany. The image of the floor
can be varied by shrinking or increasing the dimensions of
the elements. |

Chevrons. Here, in American Black Walnut. Also known as 'pointe
de Hongrie'. Yet another lovely simple pattern. We think of
it as originating in France. The French think of it as originating
in Hungary. In Hungary they probably think of it as originating
in the Middle East where they were ahead of the West millenia
ago in terms of design. However, in relatively modern times
- ie. for the last 300 years or so the French adopted it in
the same way as the British adopted Herringbone - which is
known as the English pattern in France. As with many simple
patterns it works just as well in ultra-modern environments
as in the craggiest of castles. It can be made of many other
species of timber. It is also made in alternating timbers
- two timbers, three timbers. Four is getting confusing to
the eye. The image of this floor can be varied by shrinking
or increasing the dimensions of the elements and by altering
the angle of incidence. |
