Trend Allert: Op Art

According to Elle Decor "Eye-catching patterns and psychedelic colors are back" as part of the return of Op Art and other elements of the '60s Style.

The term "Op Art"- from "Optical Art" ("visual art that makes use of optical illusions") appeared in the '60s when the public became enraptured with the movement and Op Art was everywhere: in print and television advertising, as a fashion motif in clothing and interior decoration.(below - Ring Round Platter by French Bull)

In fact, interest to optical illusion and eye-catching patterns has never disappeared. One example - Patricia Urquiola is one modern designer who is obviously fascinated with its possibilities. Look at her "Tropicalia' collection manufactured by Moroso or her lamp 'Chasen'for Flos, inspired by a Chasen, the bamboo brush of the Japanese tea ceremony .

If you want to create this style at your home you can use any of the beautiful colorful textiles by Missoni - a company famous for their specific patterns that always create a feeling of movement.
