This vibrant lithograph plays with spatial perception, symmetry, and color gradient, shifting from deep indigo to electric magenta in a hypnotic pixel-like pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlothouber and Graatsma—both trained in architecture—formed a groundbreaking multidisciplinary design collective in the 1960s that blurred the lines between art, architecture, and industrial design.
