Optik was created in the 1960s and, as the name suggests, concerns a furnishing fabric with a strong optical art pattern, where the eye comes into play ? both as regards the displaced graphics and colour combinations.
The furnishing fabric is quite reminiscent of the visual strength found in the work of the artist Vasarely, but the colours are definitely from the Panton universe: sunshine yellow/orange, red/carmine red, lilac/blue, lime/jade, blood red/red, ultramarine/violet and black/white. Optik was originally printed on cotton, but is now woven in a cotton/polyester fabric.
