Synopsis

Repeating patterns can soothe or energize us, bringing a little joy and harmony to everyday life. Repeat Pattern Design for Interiors explores the power repeat patterns hold over us and what goes into creating original, effective printed designs. Beginning with the history of patterns in interior design, Kate Farley uncovers lessons from the early masters through the work of Marimekko, Owen Jones, Collier Campbell, and Josef Frank.

There are also interviews with some of the best contemporary pattern designers working today:
Angie Lewin, Deborah Bowness, Eley Kishimoto, Emma Shipley, Galbraith & Paul, Neisha Crosland, Orla Kiely, Sarah Campbell and Timorous Beasties. Each interview covers the designer's practice and ethos and includes a deconstruction of one design, with discussion of initial sketches, details of design development, manufacturing insights and images of final products.

Covering hand-drawn techniques through to digital manipulation, you’ll also be guided through the implications of material choices, colour statements, manufacturing considerations and commercial interior contexts to prepare you to jump in and start creating your own unique patterns.
