There are certain ideas, the use of vivid colours and geometric shapes being among them, that don’t follow the latest trends, but have a timeless approach that could stand the test of time. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that both artists and designers often come back to them, finding new ways of interpreting these evergreens and developing new products, artworks, sculptures and installations that in turn can be a source of inspiration for fashion and interior design. Have a look at The Gibbs Farm sculpture garden in New Zealand with its arrangement of coloured squares, or Christo’s The London Mastaba in Hyde Park made of 7506 barrels placed on a platform that floats in the water and translate these images to carpets, boxes, small furniture items or tube lampshades. There is a world of inspiration waiting out there!
