Ljungbergs Pythagoras, 1952
Designed by Sven Markelius for Ljungbergs, 1952
Hand printed with a double repeat and requires 18 screens. 15 colors create this dramatic design. The orange colorway hangs in the U.N. (71″x57″)
Buy it here, if you have money to burn. (And if you have enough cash left over, buy one for me, too! I’ll take orange, thx.)
It’s like the secret love child of Alexander Girard’s “Checker Split” fabric and that door in SoHo I’m crazy about:
Newburgh got a mention on “Mad Men” tonight….

Reminds me of these on 20X200 (but a little different)… http://www.20×200.com/art/2009/09/nonsensical-infographic-no-1.html
That door is pretty rad.

These were in my dream last night! Ever since I saw this post I’ve not been able to get them off my mind!
And those backgammon boards, now I want to learn to play!

Ironically, I was looking at Marimekko fabric online today, and came upon this. It is stunning! If I had the cash, I’d go for it. Really exceptional.
