While thumbing through an Art Deco book on design,
found these ridiculously beautiful designs by Belgian artist Paul Bonet from the 20s-50s.
Caught the last day of the creepsily magical Charles Burchfield exhibit at The Whitney Museum in NYC. Below are some of the artist’s watercolor paintings and wallpaper designs from the 1920′s.
With our eye out for patterns, we couldn’t help but notice these carpets adorning Vegas casinos, featured in the New Yorker. All I can say is… wow.
Intern at Large Karli Hendrickson just wrote me about a fantastic book she’s reading: “Off the Wall, Wonderful Wall Coverings of the Twentieth Century” by Lena Lencek and Gideon Bosker. In the second section of this book “Circles and Squares- Geometrics, Abstracts, Op Art, Minimalist Art” the book explains that geometric motifs were typical of the 1950′s. Post World War II, low-cost screen printing inspired the production of more experimental and avant-garde patterns. Also during this time, an upwelling of ranch homes in the growing suburbs inspired the wallpaper industry to create bold patterns wallpaper to accent and jazz up the simple, open, and modern design of these ranch houses. Textile designs at this time were also very bold and featured prisms, grids, doodles, and loops of geometric inspired design.
