The OKOLO Cut-out Prints are more than they first appear. Instead of depicting abstract geometric shapes, the objects featured on each print showcase some of the mid-century coffee and low tables designed by Gio Ponti, Gabriella Crespi, George Nakashima, Paul Kjaerholm, Edward Wormley, Greta Magnusson Grossman and Luther Conover. Rendered in very simple two-dimensional shapes, the OKOLO Cut-out Prints fall somewhere between artwork, poster and illustration.
Comprised of eight designs, the OKOLO Cut-out Prints are great for contemporary homes. The designers write about the series, "It is our graphic homage to the formal mastery of the modernist design in a fresh contemporary way." For those who have as much of an appreciation for modernist furniture designs, the OKOLO Cut-out Prints are the perfect way to go.
