The prairie style of architecture was a movement away from the excess of ornament, and symbolized the fusion between form and function. This style of architecture relied heavily on craftsmanship, detail and simplicity. The classic plaid embodies all of these ideals. Geometric and simple, it can be used to add a subtle structured layer of pattern as drapery, upholstery or accent. This design is screen printed in San Francisco by hand by master artisans, further exemplifying the ideals of the movement that inspired it.
