Long celebrated for their unmistakeable abstract designs and bold use of colour, the Richard Allan artworks are reinterpreted here in a quieter visual language, one that aligns naturally with the demands of modern spatial design. Celebratory, expressive and unmistakably of their era, these works now speak in a quieter, more contemplative language.
The prints are designed to integrate seamlessly into diverse interior landscapes, from minimal and contemporary spaces to richly textured, character-led environments. Their tonal simplicity introduces a sense of calm and continuity, while the strength of the original design ensures each piece retains its own identity. The result is artwork that contributes to the overall narrative of a space, yet remains compelling when viewed in isolation.
Elegance is a series of graceful loops dancing to the four corners with perfect lightness of movement, while Hepworth flows in sculptural forms, line and space ordered harmoniously, abstract, mesmerising and thought provoking. Manhattan, based on the east – west grid of streets brings more geometric lines, yet conveying movement. At first glance its simplicity of form yet the fascination of the pattern invites the viewer to stay longer.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
