or Call to Order

Letters, designed by Gunnar Aagaard Ander­sen for Kvadrat, is a collage based on curtailed typo­graph­i­cal motifs of capital and small letters and numbers. Although the fabric was orig­i­nally produced in the mid-1950s, it might as well be the latest fashion. Aagaard Ander­sen is one of the most compre­hen­sive, exper­i­men­tal, and fasci­nat­ing artists of the 20th century.
