Each week we bring you a trio of Good Things in art and design, chosen from the infinite creative archives of Present & Correct — —
This week's Good Things conjures joy through the mesmeric swirls of marble
Marble, as a material and pattern, has had a real resurgence of late. It has become the kitchen splash back of choice and its infinite permutations can be found across the fields of graphic and fashion design. Pop on your favourite Pucci dress and peruse this selection of colourful swirls.
