Usually ready in 24 hours
In the early 1960s, Jay Hyde Crawford — founder of Quadrille, veteran of the kind of design education that required you to actually look at things — was looking at a Matisse drawing. What he saw was a tree that was not trying to be a tree. It was trying to be the idea of a tree: the gesture, the reach, the negative space between branches that tells you more about light than the branches themselves.
He drew it. It became Arbre de Matisse.
The ground is 100% European linen. The repeat is 20½ by 25½ inches, which is large enough to let the tree breathe.
Matisse did not design fabric. Crawford did. But Matisse showed him where to look.

Jungle Green is not a color that asks permission. It is the green of a canopy that has already decided to take over — dense, declarative, and completely at ease with itself. On Arbre de Matisse, it turns Matisse's cut-paper exuberance into something that feels less like art history and more like standing inside it.
