“Is it the machine in me that reveals who I am not?”
– Pessoa
Machines have a strangely fascinating allure. The impersonal precision and consistency of machines as well as their inherent possibilities have inspired writers, film makers and other artists to envision the future as a time of machines. The works of these artists are often tinged with menace and dystopian visions.
J&O Fabrics carries a few examples of designer fabrics that display appealingly machine-like, industrial designs. Machina Retro (reu00006), Gray Canyon Tweed (twe00001), Terminal City (uph00097) and Graphite Chenille (uph000100) are among these fabrics. The impersonal-futuristic-industrial look of these upholstery prints is fabulous for modern style decor in offices, living rooms and family rooms. It’s the type of upholstery that Big Brother and the Thought Police could appreciate.
Even in a dystopia you need some color besides gray. Quadrant Retro: Red (reu00031), Quadrant Retro: Tan (reu00011), Industrial Flower (uph00081) and Faust Retro (reu00009) fulfill that need.*
