DROPS TODAY: Introducing Coquette, Our Newest Tile

 

  

A Real Heartbreaker

Introducing Coquette, our new tile collection.

Bring an air of romance to any space — your kitchen, bathroom, living room, or office — with our new cement tile collection, developed as an abstraction of the quintessential Rococo motif: the shell. Offered in three decorative formats, each variation is available in five colorways, which pair and combine in a repeating composition expressed in vibrant color.

 

   

Make It Your Own


With three unique tiles (Fringe, Frame and Field) the Coquette collection offers endless customization options. Use all three in combination, or repeat just one, to set the stage on your own installation.

 

A Few Words From Our Founder


“Coquette is based on the work of great set designers of the Italian Rococo, known for their ephemeral works of architecture,” says Avery Thatcher. “The scalloped motif emulates the illusion of the theatrical experience: where art sets the stage for beauty in the built environment.”

“Much like the scenographic theater stages of the Italian Rococo,” says Thatcher, “this collection was predicated in the process of deep abstraction to create a more pared-down, simplified collection of evocative contemporary flooring, cladding, and partitions.”

 

Product Details: 

Pigmented cement tile

Suitable for floor or wall applications

JUST LANDED: Get to know Baptiste, Thatcher’s Latest Wallcovering

  

NEW ARRIVAL

Introducing Baptiste, our newest wallcovering we would describe as Venetian plaster meets campy 80s decorative wall painting. (Think of Post-Modern homes with the DIY sponge paint, but better, and paired with very expressive texture.)

  

  

JUST ADD TEXTURE

We made the perfect wallcovering for all those upcoming winter parties and occasions you’ve planned to invite people to yours. 

Because when the weather gets cold, you want to invite your loved ones inside to the more intimate spaces of your home: the kitchen, dining room, living room, office den, and maybe even the bedroom. 

  

  

MAXIMALISM

Adorn your space in rich color with Baptiste, our newest wallcovering. Combining a variety of references including the distinctly texturized Venetian Plaster of vernacular Post-Modern interiors and rad 80s decorative painting, Baptiste was conceived as a set of patterned configurations to construct dream-like interior atmospheres.

“Baptise is an expression of balanced forms, highly textured patterns, a subtle color palette, and a restrained playful elegance,” says founder and creator Avery Thatcher.

Organic geometry and abstract volumes give shape to a painterly composition with a complex motif. The wallcovering is crafted using textured molds, which emulate the character of handmade Venetian plasterwork in a unique two-tone texture.

 

COMING SOON

Don’t go far, our new tile collection: Coquette is launching soon.

NEW IN: Meet Leeway, Our Newest Tile

  

WE'D LIKE TO MAKE AN INTRODUCTION

Meet Leeway, our newest tile. 

  

  

  

Bring color to your kitchen, bathroom, office, or any room with our new vibrant tile. Available in two color groups — Warm Mélange and Cool Mélange — each eight-inch square tile generates prismatic variations, adding a colorful foreground to enliven every space.

  

PRODUCT DETAILS

Pigmented cement tile

Suitable for floor or wall applications

Rated for residential or commercial installations

Handcrafted in Mexico

Sold by the box, 12 tiles per box

  

  

A study in poured colored cement, Leeway reflects Avery Thatcher’s fascination with transforming organic shapes into spontaneous motifs by idiosyncratic applications of hue. Unlike the traditional method of encaustic tile making, where cement is poured into a metal mold to create a uniform pattern, Leeway is made by free-form improvisation of pouring a set number of colors directly onto the cement tile base. Aptly dubbed “Leeway,” the patterned tiles are indicative of their namesake, described as

  

"THE AMOUNT OF FREEDOM TO MOVE OR ACT THAT IS AVAILABLE."

  

Expanding upon Thatcher’s ability to reimagine traditional making methods, Leeway is predicated on an intuitive and experimental approach to color and pattern making. Two color groups — Warm Mélange and Cool Mélange — generate prismatic variations in each eight-inch square tile. Through its randomized placement of colors to form a motif, Leeway provokes a close inquiry into color and pattern. 

  

  

WHAT'S THE STORY

 

Words with our founder, Avery Thatcher:

Tell us about Leeway. 

“It has been a dream come true to ideate, develop, and design Leeway with a team of artisans in Mexico.”

What was the process like?

“We began with illustrations of what I hoped the finished tiles would look like to achieve a consensus on the desired outcome and overall concept.”

How did that work?

“I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the finished tiles were more beautiful than my drawings! When considering the spatial limitations, I can appreciate all the variations of organic shapes I didn’t know were possible. The creativity of the craftspersons truly brings this design to life.” 

What did you have in mind when you designed Leeway?

“Leeway is designed for risk-takers, those who aren’t afraid to break the grid, so to speak. Since each tile is a work of art in its own right, it requires the end user to have faith in spontaneity.”

What makes Leeway different from the other tiles made by Thatcher? 

“The beauty of this collection lies in its ability to create completely unique compositions in every application. No tile will look like another, so it is a prerequisite to trust the process of improvised design.”

NEW from Thatcher: Linen Fabrics

  

INTRODUCING: THATCHER FABRIC

We are thrilled to announce the latest product offering from Thatcher, 100% flax heavyweight linen. Not just another fabric line; it is a celebration of sustainability, craftsmanship, and the fusion of art and design.

  

  

CONTEMPORARY + COORDINATED

Our first fabric line is available in two cult favorite Thatcher patterns: Le Freak and Natural Gifts. We have offered our clients coordinating fabrics alongside our wallcoverings as a custom option for years. Now it’s easier than ever to bring your favorite pattern off the walls and into your space with upholstery, drapery, or one-of-a-kind throw pillows.

  

  

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

The 100% flax linen that we use for our new fabric line is sourced from a Belgian Climate Neutral Certified company, using sustainable, hand made techniques dating back to the nineteenth century. Since Thatcher is also Climate Neutral Certified, both sides of the supply chain have pre-paid to offset all of the emissions created during the production, transportation, printing, and distribution of the fabric in the US and beyond. This was an important consideration in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainable practices in all of our products.

  

 

ARTISTRY IN EVERY THREAD

Our line is not just about the fabric; it's about the art that breathes life into each design. Before becoming textiles, our designs start as hand paintings, infused with personality.

Drop us a line at sales@thatcherstudio.com with any questions or to order your linen sample today!

Meet Our Newest Wallcovering, Flood

   

   

 

 

DID SOMEONE SAY SPRING?

Spring has sprung!

Celebrate the new season with our newest wallcovering, Flood.

  

 

Spring calls for a fresh look. Make a statement with a new look for your walls.

Elevate your everyday spaces with colorful wallcoverings available in three vibrant shades — to fit in your home, your office, and your life.

  

  

Flood is a painterly, translucent plane that transforms the view of a wall into a delightful diffusion of vibrant colors. Alternating hand-poured lines emerge vertically from a crisp surface, creating an eye-catching effect as colors shift under different lights throughout the day.

Loosely inspired by abstract expressionist painter Morris Louis, Flood is a study of the significance of color and form. Available in three colorways — Prism, Deep Ocean, and Sands — Flood emulates Louis’s three major series of paintings between 1958 and 1962 — the Veils, Unfurleds, and Stripes — an astoundingly coherent sequence of innovations in abstraction.

“It is said that Leonardo da Vinci recommended artists stare at stains on the wall to formulate ideas for making art,” says the company’s founder, Avery Thatcher. “I think Louis set out to make ‘stains’ himself and present them as his own art. With this in mind, I made this wallcovering, so it had precisely the look of having been found or made organically.”

Louis’ technique of soaking the canvas with paint, rather than painting onto its surface, allows the paint and the canvas to become one. Inspired by this important stylistic development, Avery Thatcher removed the emphasis on the artist’s hand and gesture to create pieces of deliberate fluid painting on wallpaper. With this technique, the focus is shifted solely to color and form.

  

  

GET TO KNOW YOUR WALLPAPER

The new product features the same innovative, intricate technologies the Portland, Oregon-based practice has developed to further the company’s dedication to environmentally conscious design principles and carbon-neutral products. Flood is the newest addition in the Climate Neutral Certified portfolio and offers the “best minimum” — minimal use of resources, minimalistic aesthetic, maximal versatility, and the least amount of impact on the natural environment possible. This new wallcovering is just a small part of the design studio’s commitment to accelerating positive change and responsible business conduct, while continuing to push the boundaries of high-quality wallcoverings through design and innovation.

Meet Our New Wallpapers: Agolise and Brute

Elevate your space and your mood with two new wallcovering designs.
  
 
  
 
Offering more colors and elegant patterns than ever before — including multi-faceted foreground and background colorways — Agolise and Brute are the wall-flattering foundations of a well-designed (and well-defined) space.
 

AGOLISE

  
  
How can a pattern represent the shape of water? Both metaphorically and literally? After observing water in various natural and man-made settings — in a glass, on the ocean’s horizon, flowing down a water slide, and so on — Thatcher’s founder, Avery, created a series of illustrations depicting water in motion. Defining the movement of the substance with deconstructed shapes, the pattern is loosely outlined by its whimsical shapes and forms. Like a cubist painting, this wallpaper pattern emulates how one sees water by abandoning the tradition of perspective drawing and displaying many views of the subject at once—that is, the many shapes water takes. 
  
 

BRUTE

 

  
Aptly dubbed, Brute is a wallpaper inspired by the spirited lines of calligraphy and delicate brush strokes of watercolor illustrations. In this treatment of motif-making, representation acts as a self-referential art, concerned with the nature of representation itself or trompe l’oeil (French for “deceive the eye”). Intended to beguile the viewer with perceptual and psychological patterns, the compositions complicate definitions of truth and fiction as we know them — at least in two-dimensional representation. Brute takes on many qualities seen as distinct traits of trompe l’oeil specialists over the centuries: the emphatically flat picture plane; the invasion of the “real” world into the pictorial one; and the mimicry of materials.
