Tattoo Art to the Table
Irezumi Placesetting by Paul Timman – After graduating from the Cleveland Institute for Art, Paul began tattooing out of his apartment. Word got out and eventually, Paul ended up in Hollywood at the renown Sunset Strip Tattoo. Ten years later Timman is a leading tattoo artist and recognized specialist in tribal and traditional Japanese designs. In Irezumi, tattoo moves from body art to table art in a surprisingly graceful way.
Geometry – Verner Panton’s Design Classic
Among the far-sighted Danish architect Verner Panton’s most renowned works is the graphic pattern from 1960, “Geometry 1”, for which he was awarded The International Design Award in the US in 1963. Now, almost 50 years later, the stringent yet lively pattern is virtually more popular now than during the height of Panton’s popularity in the 1960s.
The Panton Geometry serving tray has a 15.7″ diameter. It is made of melamine. On Sale @ EmmoHome.
