The Radici Tartan Doodles pattern designed by Arthur Arbesser.
Preview of the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2023, the Tartan Doodles pattern marks the collaboration between Radici and Arthur Arbesser. “From the time when I lived in London, I was greatly impressed by the use of textile surfaces, a great classic of English interior style, used both in sophisticated domestic settings and in the classic and ubiquitous pubs,” explained the designer. “I decided to mix a pattern linked to classicism and traditional decorativeness – the red tartan – with something unusual and unexpected: an instinctive design, a doodle. It often happens to me to draw doodles while I’m on the phone and then turn them into patterns that I use for my collections.” The result is a lively canvas with an irregular pattern that lends itself to creating movement on the floor, running along highly decorative textile flooring.
