Alan Campbell Fabric: Melinda - Custom French Blue on Light Tint Belgian Linen / Cotton
A geometry that refuses to sit still. Melinda's interlocking maze of angles creates the optical illusion of depth and movement on a flat plane - the eye keeps trying to find the pattern's endpoint and keeps being pulled deeper in. It's the visual equivalent of a conversation you can't walk away from.
The design walks a precise line between mid-century graphic boldness and something more ancient - there's an echo of Greek key, of Aztec textile, of Art Deco ironwork. It doesn't belong to any single era, which is why it refuses to date.

The one who studied abroad junior year and came back... different. Softer. More interesting.
French Blue on Light Tint is Melinda after a glass of Sancerre on a terrace somewhere - the geometry is still there, still sharp, but the contrast has relaxed into something almost conversational. The pale blue on cream reads like ink fading on old paper, or morning light through shutters.
This is the colorway for people who want the pattern's intelligence without its interrogation.
