Kaisla

Additional information

The patterns and the colors of the printed fabrics designed by Marjatta Metsovaara changed at the end of the 1960s. It was replaced by monochrome, striped and large-patterned fabrics where the graphic patterns were partly pictorial. Such is the design Kaisla (reed) designed in 1966 and first shown to the public at Expo 66. Kaisla was first made as a carpet design for Hotel Kuusamo in 1966. It shows clear influences for and from modern painting. The two-colored nature of the design and the distortion, depression, and waving affects the viewer like op-art. It gives the viewer the impression of movement and warping. This fine reactive print is an original reproduction.
