Summary

Pathe synopsis: Something unique in modern design: Mr Tibor Reich photographs familiar objects - the bark of trees, water lilies, even dried mud - in his search for new designs. Very simply, the photographs are cut into equal units and skillfully re-arranged by an artist into pleasing patterns. The finished design can then be transferred to cloth, pottery or carpet. Thus the ingenuity of man is today bringing the beauty of nature into the home.
