I have a mad crush on Josef Frank

Born in 1885, Frank, the Austrian born architect, artist and designer is to this day one of the most important designers. In his structural design work, he like a true architect, rejected facade decor for functional forms. His ability to successfully use asymmetry and curvilinear design in a modern sense, is brilliance.
 

In his wallpaper, carpet and textile design, it's a celebratory chorus of organic lines and color. Never, ever will his work appear dated. A true design genius.

This print, Terazzo, is one of two of his 160, known textile designs that are not based on nature. Designed to be used as carpet in 1944 for Estrid Ericson on her 50^th birthday.
