Fabric Design: Triangles, Squares and Rectangles c. 1915

Josef Hoffmann’s "Fabric Design: Triangles, Squares and Rectangles" from c. 1915 is a striking example of geometric abstraction. The design features an intricate pattern of overlapping triangles, squares, and rectangles rendered in black and white. Hoffmann’s use of simple shapes and bold lines creates a dynamic and visually engaging textile design. The design embodies key principles of the Vienna Secession, a movement that emphasized geometric forms and decorative patterns, and is a testament to Hoffmann’s contributions to both architecture and textile design.
