NEW DESCRIPTION:
Bakersfield
Squares alternate in regular grid, the timeless chequerboard pattern reinterpreted through contemporary colour sensibility. Bakersfield employs geometry's simplest repetition—equal squares in two-tone alternation—where chromatic choice determines whether tradition or modernity dominates perception.
The pattern constructs through basic tessellation: squares meeting edge to edge in perpendicular alignment, each row offset by one square creating characteristic diagonal visual flow. This arrangement has endured centuries—from medieval floor tiles to 1950s diners to racing flags—its simplicity proving perpetually adaptable. Modern twist emerges through colour selection: pastel variations (soft red, muted blue, sage green) paired with white or cream soften the graphic contrast typical of bold chequerboard applications, whilst classic black-white version maintains high-contrast tradition. The pastel options transform familiar geometry into contemporary palette suitable for restrained interiors, graphic impact present yet gentled through chromatic subtlety. Scale likely reads moderate, squares sized for clear pattern recognition without dizzying optical intensity.
Printed in Cornwall with precise square edges and colour boundaries maintaining geometric clarity essential to chequerboard's visual logic.
Bakersfield suits spaces appreciating geometric pattern heritage through contemporary execution. Kitchens, bathrooms, powder rooms where chequerboard references historical tile patterns, or living areas, bedrooms where graphic geometry provides structure. Pastel versions suit modern minimalist or Scandinavian aesthetics requiring pattern without chromatic aggression, black-white maintains bold graphic impact for confident applications. Works as feature walls or full room coverage; the regular repetition creates rhythmic backdrop rather than demanding focal attention. Pairs with mid-century modern furnishings, retro aesthetics, or contemporary pieces comfortable with geometric pattern's timeless simplicity.
