From the French, meaning ‘four leaves’.
An ornamental design that is four times its mirror image, often four shapes arranged around a decorative centre, resembling the elusive four-leaved clover that every child has been tasked with finding.
Apart from the design inspiration for print and weave the form of the quatrefoil is a useful design accessory – on the feminine side – as the head of upholstery stud and as studding to fit between the corner joints of a mirrored wall.
