Design for the Stocletfries — Fine Art

Design for the Stocletfries shows a decorative pattern in the ornamental style of Gustav Klimt. The layout fills the sheet with geometric bands and repeated shapes in gold and bright tones. From across the room the repeats read as a steady pattern.

A fine art print of Design for the Stocletfries sits on a dry wall at shoulder height. The matte paper keeps the gold tones flat and stops shine from a lamp.

In a hallway the pattern pulls the eye along the length of the pass. You notice the small squares and thin lines while walking past. The gold tones stay quiet against the wood door and pale floor. It works there without drawing attention to itself.
