145 Marseille
(Copyright 1984 Randy Yost)
B-Top in quartersawn white oak, bottom in Ipe. Pattern repeat is approx. 32 inches. The most unique aspect of the Marseille pattern is that there are no obvious square grids in it's design. The pattern actually weaves over & under, both square with the room & diagonally. The Marseille pattern creates a very European feeling without dividing the room into large squares, yet retains the feeling of a large scale parquetry. Since this pattern is more of an overall texture, it allows more attention to be focused on room furnishings.
150 Oxford
(Copyright 1977 Randy Yost)

A & B shown in mahogany, maple, walnut, & cherry. Pattern is 31 1/2x31 1/2. The Oxford pattern reaches a pinnacle of formality. Inspired by stained glass, it exudes a majestic feeling with it's rich and complex elegance. Although large in scale, it has a delicate, crystalline quality that bespeaks generations of thought in the development of it's design. With as much impact as this pattern achieves, it still works surprisingly well with dramatic furnishings. When fashioned of Santos mahogany, Oxford is especially brilliant. The extraordinary hardness of this wood (75% harder than oak) and it's iridescent properties make it a dazzling yet practical background for high traffic areas. Oxford is more subdued when crafted in oak. When dark flooring is desired, walnut portrays a subtle elegance.

160 Sutton Place
(Design ©Copyright 1985 Randy Yost)
A in Brazilian cherry & Ipe. Pattern is 21 1/2x21 1/2. A bold dramatic expression consisting of three wood species of contrasting tones, combines to create a three dimensional shadowbox effect. The illustration shows medium tone wood in the center, If the darkest of the three woods is in the center, the effect is a darker looking floor with light diagonal grids. The greater the contrast in the three woods, the more dominant the floor, dictating more conservative furnishings. If subtle contrasting woods are used, furnishings can play a more dominant role in the room.
161 Rhombus Shown in plainsawn red oak-5/16x4 1/2 inch cubes
165 Santiago A in maple, wenge, & mahogany in a white oak background. Pattern is 12x12. New for '99, wood in this pattern was inspired by an ancient Mexican tile design.   inch.
180 Stockholm
(Design ©Copyright 1982 Randy Yost)
A & B in walnut. Pattern is 30x30. A bold pattern with a quiet demeanor. The diagonal divisions crate a clearly defined, dominant grid which repeats across the room.  As large as this pattern is, it functions effectively in surprisingly small spaces (rooms as small as 270 square feet), perhaps due to it's overall repetitive quality and the consistency of the width of the components.
N/A St. Moritz
(Design ©Copyright Randy Yost)

The distinctive pattern of strong accented diagonals makes this floor the focal point of attention. Suitable for small to medium spaces or larger rooms with rugs covering a high percentage of the floor. Care must be taken not to compete with the strong visual impact of the floor when choosing patterns in rugs or fabrics. A stunning and very rich version of this pattern can be fashioned with walnut diagonals (darkest tones), cherry field (medium tones), and maple accents (lightest tones).
