Fretwork

Admired for its simplicity, the original Frette has sat within Cole & Son's archive for over a century. Its intertwined trellis sits in contrast to the printed ground, adding an elegant depth to an otherwise minimal design. Preserving an analogue print method, Fretwork retains a natural texture, with ink layered upon ink creating a tactile imprint upon each length. Reworked with an expanded palette and greater tonal variation, Fretwork reveals new depth within the enduring design. The flow of its repeating geometry creates a subtle honeycomb effect across the wall, encouraging the eye to wander across the pattern. Faithful to its archival origins yet refreshed for contemporary interiors, Fretwork demonstrates the lasting appeal of a beautifully balanced trellis.
