"Zajac & Callahan were doing in the 1960s what everyone else claims to have just discovered: bold graphic pattern at architectural scale, deployed with enough nerve to cover an entire room and make it feel inevitable rather than overwhelming. That bedroom photograph — the ropes running floor to ceiling as drapes and canopy, paired against a disciplined stripe, with a Biedermeier chest and Greek key mirror holding the center — could run in any shelter magazine tomorrow without a single editorial apology. The design is a twisted rope motif in vertical repeat, the kind of thing that reads as classical from a distance and almost op-art up close, and it has not aged a day because it was never chasing a trend to begin with."
