Speaking of warm, I have a soft spot for any pattern that vaguely reminds me of plaid. No matter what the color is, a checked pattern of any sort makes me feel comforted and toasty. These new ceramic pieces are the result of a collaboration between Danish designers Miss Dotty and Anne Black. Their Ruth M collection was inspired by old Danish wallpaper designs and antique English fishplates. I love the blue-gray colors and pale browns in the series — they make pieces like the larger tiles feel both classic and modern. Anne is debuting her latest work in NYC next week, but sadly, I’ll be out of town, so I wanted to share a little preview here. You can view all of Anne’s work right here (and shop online). Thanks to Tina for the tip! xo, grace
