I love how the design plays with optical perceptions: focusing on the light brown it reads as a series of repeating abstract geometrical patterns

Mertens-Kunst "Farben-Domino" Mid-Century Color Dominoes weaving with fish pattern I love how the designI think these colored dominoes (Farben Domino) are just gorgeous, making me want to spend the whole day playing, though equally great just to arrange in various configurations and patterns. Super Bauhaus in sensibility, these were made by the German company Mertens Kunst (1936 2001) circa 1960, and seem quite a rarity; the only other set I have found available online is in Germany. I would throw a party just in order to put these on the table. 28
