An incredible pattern resource produced by Il Centro Design Montefibre, an institute founded by Andrea Branzi to research textiles, fibres and colours. A beautiful production that ran to just two issues. This second volume is entirely focused on lines and squares. Illustrations with extensive texts capture a huge breadth of references from natural forms and landscapes, to architectural and industrial forms, to textiles and weaving methods.
