Maria Holmer Dahlgren

This is a dish cloth designed by Swedish artist Maria Holmer Dahlgren. It is one of a series that were 'London Inspired'. I like it because the message is incredible clear from the very first moment you look at it, and the phrase' Its raining cats and dogs' is also very appropriate to the weather in the UK, particularly London. The colour scheme is kept minimalist and the design concise, and even though the animals are solid black, the positions which they are in help to communicate the right idea.
This is another from the series. Instead of interpreting a well known phrase this time the designer has interpreted well known buildings and situations from the capital. I feel it works just as well.
