We also see dots used in the art form pointillism. Artists of this genre include Vincent van Gogh, Maximilien Luce and Hippolyte Petitjean. Pointillism, a small dots or dashes of colour are applied to a surface. Creating a bright and detailed finished piece.

Our Pip Lavender design shows a much simpler design to those in pointillism. Using space between the dashes, we allow the pattern to breathe and take a much subtler role in a room, to make the overall area, the finished piece.

To this day we all see a pattern like our Twinkle Twinkle Midnight painted across our night sky. The oldest and most significant example of where spots and dots are genuinely inspiring.
