Gingham Style
By Liz Nguyen and Mike Wartman
The classic concept of an outdoor picnic, inspired by the quintessential gingham checkered fabric pattern. The concept of ‘Gingham Style’ utilizes a ribbon of red gingham pattern to connect a series of family style picnic tables and a fabric canopy to create a space that plays on the notion of an outdoor picnic. The result is simple, yet creates a warm and inviting social space that will encourage social interaction and outdoor dining.
