Remy Belgian Linen

Hand-drawn in 1968 by Remy Chatain, Jr. Our founder’s bold and elegant vision of large-scale botany.

Poring through third-generation owner Remy Chatain, Jr’s large collection of art and textile books one day, we discovered this original artwork, stuck between two wallpaper tomes. Painstakingly drawn by Chatain in mixed colors of permanent ink on a sheet of vellum, this pattern has a painterly, almost watercolor effect. We celebrate its large-scale leaves and petals (as well as its perfectly imperfect gaps, in between the lines) in our 2019 production of this spirited floral. A delayed debut, fifty years on.
