We've admired Richard Saja's embellished toile designs ever since we first spotted them at The Future Perfect a few years ago. This week, The New York Times follows Saja while he shops for textiles and inspiration at the Decoration & Design building on Lexington...
For a closer look at Richard Saja's work, check out his blog, Historically Inaccurate. For the story (and a brief history of toile) see The New York Times: Shopping for Toile With Richard Saja and their feature on toile and toile-like textiles: Shopping: Fabrics and Fabrications.

I saw his work at a gallery in Brooklyn many years ago and was blown away. It was beautiful and challenging and accessible all at the same time.
