Department Store | Geometric Design Pieces

posted by Amber Weaver July 2, 2018

Experimenting with geometric shapes, lines and layouts are proving to be very popular in the design industry’s current climate. On our curated marketplace, Department Store, this expands from designers and artists creating funky patterns to constructing them in abstract ways to create stunning pieces of work spanning from screenprints to cushion covers and many more. Below we’ve outlined the top five product examples showcasing interesting examples of how geometry has been used.

A Sphere Meets A Square Cushion / Steel Grey by Before Breakfast

This screen-printed cushion is designed and made with simplicity and comfort in mind to make your living space more homely. The use of the repeated pattern with an almost Bauhaus feel to it, gives the design depth with an interesting perspective that plays on the eye if looked at for a period of time.

Playful Clarity I by Inga Israel

This stunning three colour risograph print on 270gsm meta-paper was printed at drucken3000 in Berlin by our wonderful vendor Inga Isreal. We adored the pop of the fluorescent orange with the blue.

Cube II | A 2 Limited Edition Screen Print by Emma Fisher

After a successful sale of the first edition, the classic Cube print has been updated with a neon twist, using overlaying split fountain gradients. Not only has geometry been used in a nice way here but also the print process. The gradients are printed at a 45 degree agree on the paper so the ink flow runs inline with the perspective angle of the shape whilst creating a dynamic appearance with a multi-range of layered colours. Emma is an incredibly talented printmaker, shop her full collection here!

Posterzine — Camille Walala

Camille is renowned for her use of bold and brightly coloured patterns that pretty much cover any surface this talented designer can get her hands on. For our 32nd issue of Posterzine, we conducted an exclusive interview as well as showcasing her punchy geometric patterns and other quality projects. Shop the full collection of Posterzine here!

Eternity Double Print by Maze

Maze create mid-Century modern inspired screen prints with striking geometric shapes and a vibrant use of colour. Although this composition is much more minimal than the other products it works just as well, but in a more powerful way with perhaps much more confidence.
