A few weeks ago, we featured Harry Stevens, a designer who used scantily-clad ladies in his poster creations. Walter Hofmann also used swim-suited lovelies in his work; in fact, he specialised in the subject!

Hofmann (1906–1973), was an Austrian designer about whom we couldn’t find much information.  He was commissioned by Nivea, Ulka, Matzner and Kajak Badedress (a Danish swimsuit manufacturer, we think).

His style and palette are so evocative of the mid-century modern era. It’s very reminiscent of another favourite design team of ours, Lefor Openo.
