The Vivid Colors and Textures of Luis Barragán
Straight out of Mexico, Luis Barragán was one of the most influential designers of the 20th century—and created a distinct aesthetic that many came to describe as an "International Style." His work with color, texture, light, and geometry is unmistakable.
