Karel Martens – Patterns, 2021

Information

“This publication contains a collection of patterns designed by Karel Martens between 1960 and 2021. Although Martens is widely recognised for his specialisation in typography, the dozens of colourful full-page patterns shown here are devoid of any text, allowing the sequence to become a mesmerising pattern in itself. Design: Karel & Aagje Martens.”
