Actually, that's fine with us. Especially if any new incarnations are as subtle (read: not coral-color red!) and classy as the new pressed vinyl designs from Chilewich.
LA designers said they hoped this trend would die in 2009, but if Sandy Chilewich is releasing a new line for fall 2009, it looks like it might keep kicking for a while.
In gold or silver and available online at UnicaHome.
Anyone else find new coral patterns out there?

Beautiful, and the photography and styling are stunning.
Looks more like algae in a petri dish to me, but stunning nonetheless.
Oooohh! I like these designs! I could see them at my beach house in WA - South Sound area!
These look useless.
They are very pretty but how do they fulfill their function as placemats? If liquid is splashed than it will go straight through to the table.
Looks like Psoriasis. Yum :-(
Doesn't look like coral to me. Maybe bone marrow. But pretty marrow, mind you.
i want all the place settings! the mats are just ok.
Wow - these are quite beautiful - some of the best designs I've seen from Chilewich.
If only they came in circles for my round dining table...
