Suggestions for Fabrics and Carpets Pl.18
1923
Emile-Allain Séguy’s 1923 design bursts with the bold, graphic energy of the Jazz Age, originally intended to inspire fabric and carpet manufacturers. The composition is a vibrant patchwork of stylized nature, featuring fan-like leaves, geometric lattices, and blooming flowers in striking purples, greens, and yellows. Created as part of a massive portfolio called 'Suggestions,' these plates were meant to bridge the gap between fine art and everyday industrial design. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how early 20th-century designers envisioned bringing modern, abstract beauty into our homes.
