True design lovers can't limit their aesthetic crushes to furniture and patterns. So we're spotlighting the designers that make us blush. This week, we can't take our eyes off of Parvez Taj.Los Angeles-based artist Parvez Taj is anything but two-dimensional. Taj brings his colorful screenprints to reclaimed wood, mirrors, bamboo and aluminum to create larger-than-life visions of cityscapes, geometrics and floral bursts.

You may recognize Taj's work from when it was sold by CB2 last year. But I'm most smitten with the way his dreamy prints look when illuminated as a hanging lamp or light-up acrylic seat.
Another medium that suits his aethetic well: Aluminum composite lends an extra shimmer to the images. Doesn't this one look like it's exploding with light?
And you can take a look at Taj's work on display in this video he shared with us. (Those light-up seats need to be seen in video to see their full beauty.)
