Nature has striped the zebra. Man has striped his flags and awnings, ties and shirts. For the typographer, stripes are rules; for the architect they are a means of creating optical illusions. Stripes are dazzling, sometimes hypnotic, usually happy. They are universal. They have adorned the walls of houses, churches, and mosques. Stripes attract attention. — Paul Rand Architectural abstract of an office building in Hamburg, Germany Published in PhotoVogue by Vogue Italia on 7/9/20
