1929
Imagine if a scientist and a fashion designer had a baby—that’s the vibe of this 1929 masterpiece by Emile-Allain Séguy. As a real-life entomologist at the Paris Museum of Natural History, Séguy didn't just draw bugs; he turned them into graphic design icons. These five longhorn beetles are decked out in wild patterns—fiery orange stripes, polka dots, and neon greens—that look like they belong on a flapper's dress rather than a tree branch. The composition is held together by those ridiculously long antennae, which crisscross the page like abstract art. Originally published to inspire textile makers, this piece proves that nature was the original trendsetter for bold, decorative patterns.
