Modern Tartan Designs

My new collection Urban Tartan draws inspiration from classic Scottish plaids, reimagining traditional checks with a contemporary color palette and a cozy feel. A highly versatile collection featuring 60 designs available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

Urban Plaid Series: reinterpreted Scottish tradition

The Scottish checks or tartan have centuries of history. Originating in Scotland, they were traditionally used to identify clans through unique combinations of colors and lines. Over time, their elegance became part of British fashion, turning them into a symbol of timeless and classic style.

Today, tartan has evolved to suit new purposes — from fashion to interior design — while maintaining its strong graphic character and visual appeal.

My collection Urban Tartan Series is born from that heritage. I wanted to preserve the essence of classic tartan while giving it a more contemporary feel: clean lines, soft colors, and a sense of balance that fits perfectly in modern spaces.

These are the designs that are part of the collection of modern urban tartans:

Inspiration and creative process

Each design starts from a balanced geometric structure, where lines intersect in a harmonious way.
The collection includes 15 different designs, each available in three scales (mini, medium, and large), resulting in 60 unique variations.

The color combinations range from neutral and earthy tones to dusty pinks, sage greens, and soft blues.
The goal is for each design to evoke a sense of calm, naturalness, and modernity, fitting seamlessly into both bright interiors and warmer, more inviting spaces.

Versatility and style

Checks are a timeless classic that never go out of style. In their contemporary version, they’re perfect for creating balanced spaces with personality.
The designs from the Urban Tartan Series stand out for their versatility:

• At wallpaper, They provide structure and warmth without overloading the spaces.
• At fabric, They work very well for upholstery, curtains, tablecloths, cushions or bedding.

Their clean and timeless aesthetics make them an ideal choice for those seeking a warm and modern design at the same time.
