I can't say why....but i think it is restful but in a bold way and has an easy elegance to it. some of the ones i saw were impressive works but no place for the eye to rest. those have striking impact also but i like the more subtle deviations w/ a punch or two of boldness.
I think you hit it on the head that some of the Bargellos were impressive but had no place for the eye to rest. That is probably why I ended up creating my own design, as I was wanting a pointy one and couldn't find many patterns of just that. Plus a lot of those look just too complex for little ole me.
Have you looked at this one? It might interest you. I used it for the inspiration for the brown one.
