Publisher’s Review: Pattern has always been a star in the creative world. From Andy Warhol to Mark Rothko, Emilio Pucci to Hanna Werning, creatives always use pattern to inject new energy into their works. The same pattern can be used on fashion, product, interior and installation and still ooze a different feel. In Simply Pattern, pattern takes centre stage. Featuring creatives such as Japanese graphic designer TAKORA Kimiyoshi Futoria, Swedish wallpaper maker Lisa Bengtsson and Parisian design studio 5.5 designers, the book aptly demonstrates that pattern is omnipresent when you open up your eyes. Sometimes seeing is believing.
Amazon Review: Simply Pattern contains hand drawn, pixel based, playful, elegant and ethnic designs from artists including Deanne Cheuk Design, Catalina Estrada, Julia Rothman, Yuko Kondo, Skwak, Takora Kimiyoshi Futori, PotiPoti, and others. Each shares their creative patterns for packaging, textiles, wallpaper, stationary, clothing, furniture, boutiques, even dining utensils, showing how repeating graphic elements can be arranged randomly or thoughtfully in order to bring modern, classic or dynamic effect to any project. Raw patterns are found next to examples of how they are used to breathe life into any work.
