“A good pattern design makes people feel something about art. People are simply amazed when they see the elements of their lives everywhere in a neat and logical sequence. The human brain learns from everything that moves a person’s feelings. They enjoy looking at visuals and trying to understand them by combining shapes they have previously visually experienced.”...
“When we create patterns in the studio, we always think about rhythm, whether it is more orderly (where the pattern composition rules are clearly visible) or more disordered (where we create space for randomness). Composition rules can play with the basics of design such as positioning, scale, colours and rotation to achieve the desired rhythm.”...
“Uniqueness and consistency. The most interesting patterns always make you want to wander around the entire system in a given image, searching for the rhythm and looking for pieces that look alike or have similarities. Having some sort of rhythm in the pattern to avoid making it another form of art. But consistency does not necessarily mean repetition.”...

“I see a trend revival of the seventies in fashion and decoration. The colours in 2022 are a bit softer than the bright psychedelic colour combinations of the ’70s. For example in France, Monoprix did a rendition and retrospective collection of their iconic designs, furniture and objects from ’70s — and I love it! Another pattern trend is optical-illusion prints...
What do you see as a current trend in pattern design? “The trend seems to be towards courage and and emotionality. I like the boldness of the decisions on how to use patterns in design nowadays.”...
What makes a good pattern design? “I think the same rules apply here as in any other form of art. The balance in the composition, the harmony in the colour palette, as well as the contrast in the details — all of these are basic concepts that every designer is familiar with, which can help you in making a good...
“I think a good pattern design should work in different scales and textures, such as fabrics, buildings, cars or furniture, and it could also be digital. One could mix old patterns with futuristic ones. My art tries to combine organic and futuristic patterns, added with some inspiration from African, Asian (especially Japanese) patterns with new fashion pattern. Digital art is...
“The trend is modern and geometric. Very influenced by the Bauhaus or Mid-Century Modern. And it’s true that we see a lot of patterns from very refined geometric shapes in branding projects. This trend inspired me, but I wanted to make the shapes a little more complex, add texture and use vintage colours rather than the bright colours that have...
«Our ability to create and innovate as designers always surprises me: How many visual stories can we tell with merely type and forms? Recently, two trends have caught my attention. They are the usage of geometric shapes and using typography as a texture. While the first method is straightforward, the latter usually involves using bold Sans Serif typefaces that anchor...
