Tapetmönster - en kollektion av form & färg i rum

Abstract

The character of a pattern carries through to the context in which it is placed. Each pattern tells a story. By interpreting our surrounding environments we become inspired, and the patterns in turn can become part of our own narratives. This project was fuelled by my fascination and desire to explore patterns. My method of exploration was based on prior knowledge of patterns and interior design. The question became how can I apply my knowledge of interior design to pattern design and how could I best translate the brief into a language of colour and shapes? The aim was to develop my knowledge of pattern design as well as to use this opportunity to combine my design methods with those of a professional designer. In search of a suitable form of expression for my patterns, I began the project with a period of intuitive sketch work in response to the initial brief. I view pattern as an interesting tool when creating a room as well as potentially the basic element from which to develop an interior. My project resulted in six wallpaper designs created for a specific collection and brand. The resulting collection embodies my interpretation of the brief and is made up of a cohesive set of patterns that are linked by their form and colour schemes. It is a balanced collection that includes a mixture of discreet and structured patterns as well as more playful designs.
