This summer, Pantaluna designer, Neja Alic, traveled to Barcelona to investigate Antonio Gaudi. The colorful tile work meticulously laid out was not only a great backdrop for her but a true inspiration. Witnessing the carefully composed schemes and graphic movement in the facades of Gaudi’s architecture was reminiscent of the de-construction-reconstruction process inherent in creating artwear [...]
