Can you guys tell me if this plaid is correct in orientation and/or finished properly? One problem is that the weave is inherently made to look wrong to the eye. The horizontal stripes look fine as the heavy band is lowest and progresses nicely upward. But the vertical bands progress from one side to the other. We are made to feel that left to right pattern is wrong. The eye expects some sort of symmetry rather than a direction. Could be balanced by the other seat going in the opposite direct, but I don't think that is how they were originally done. After all the things were meant to catch your attention whether you like the patterns or not. Just like the green and yellow cars are faster. |
