10 Easy Pieces: Bedding in Shirting Stripes
by Alexa Hotz
The stripes gathered here owe more to the shirtmaker than to traditional mattress ticking. Think of Charvet, the Paris institution founded in 1838, and its near-infinite variations on cotton shirting: pencil lines, balanced bands, and unexpected combinations of color. Today’s bedding makers have adapted that vocabulary to crisp cotton percale. Here, 10 sets with the orderly appeal of a well-made shirt.
Above: In recent years, Danish brand Tekla has popularized percale striped bedding. Shown here is the Percale Duvet Cover in Flint Stripes; $230-$455 at Tekla.
Above: The Organic Crinkled Percale Sheet Set from Coyuchi is available four different stripe variations (shown here is Indigo Stripe) for $248.
Above: Korean brand Papiyot makes the French Blue Stripe Button Duvet Cover and the French Blue Stripe Mattress Box Cover.
Above: The Christy Calder Stripe Bundle Sheet Set comes in pink (shown) or blue; prices start at $165.75 to $208.25 at Christy.
Above: Magniberg makes the ultimate in striped bedding: the Wall Street Duvet Cover in Oxford is a patchwork of various stripe patterns; prices start at $198 for the duvet set.
Above: The Aiayu Duvet Set and Pillow Case in Mix Dark Wheat starts at €148; it’s also available in two shades of blue stripes.
Above: From Ever Lasting, the Arthur Pinstripe Bedding Set comes in brown or black, both with red piping; $239.
Above: The only option on our list that isn’t cotton, Nordic Knots’s Linen Blend Sheet Set comes in a striped set; prices start at $880 for the 5-piece set.
Above: The Percale Sheet Set at Parachute comes in four shades of stripes; $264-$324 at Parachute.

Remodelista Reconnaissance: A Funky Dutch Light in a Designer’s Apartment
by Annie Quigley
So much of the designer Saba Ghorbanalinejad’s Paris apartment is reminiscent of works by icons. The modular vanity mirror is very Le Corbu. The swivel-out drawers are pure Eileen Gray. And the kitchen, with its arched, midcentury light fixture, feels like a nod, too. Where to buy one similar? We unearth some options:
