I have always loved the quatrefoil shape, which is composed of four equal lobes. Historically, the quatrefoil pattern is common in Gothic and Moorish architecture.

Ironies also makes a gorgeous quatrefoil style mirror called the 'Araby' mirror.
Walker Zanger makes a beautiful collection with quite a few quatrefoil shapes called 'Avignon' - it is worth looking at.

I was recently in Chicago and saw this beautiful armoire that you have posted at the Nierman Weeks showroom and funny in the Hotel I stayed at that was designed by Kelly Wearstler "Sak Hotel" she had done a metal grill on the ceiling of the elevator cab in Quatrefoil pattern. I wished I had taken a picture of it. I also saw Quatrefoil in mosaic tile insets at the Urban Archaeology showroom. So it is showing up everywhere. Isn't it interesting how that happens. Our awareness is peaked to a new level. Good post. thanks
