Table detail at Milan2011

Posted on March 24th 2011

Flat Design’s collection of linen tablecloths are infused with the personal, poetic touch of Karim Rashid, Matali Crasset and more.


True luxury is often hidden in the little things in life. Like Flat Design’s new home collection tablecloths of 100% linen.

Featuring the creative imprints of international designers and art directors including the Campana Brothers, Martí Guixé, Karim Rashid, Matali Crasset, Pier Paolo Pitacco and more, Flat Design challenged these creatives to experimenting with textiles as a bi-dimensional surface, like a sheet of paper.

The imprints resulted in sophisticated hand-knitted and sharp print on tablecloths, serviettes and runners, making it ideal for the contemporary kitchen.

Flat Design used natural fibres, making them environmentally friendly and of the highest quality.

Flat Design’s wares will be on show at the Milan Furniture Fair between 12 and 17 April 2011.
