Repeating patterns can soothe or energize us, bringing joy and harmony to everyday life. Repeat Printed Pattern 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 work of Owen Jones, William Morris, 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 J. Shipley, Galbraith & Paul, Neisha Crosland, Orla Kiely OBE, 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 visual language, colour statements, manufacturing considerations and commercial interior contexts to prepare you to jump in and start creating your own unique patterns.

Reviews for Repeat Printed Pattern for Interiors

Extremely well researched... The designer interviews are excellent. -- Shirley Mclauchlan, Edinburgh University, UK This book offers so much across its 240 pages - insights into the author's creative process and design inspirations which reveal an inspirational eye for pattern and colour. The case studies of designers working across the past 50 years in the interior textile industry detail the recipes for their success and emphasise the need for budding designers to develop their own aesthetic and authentic vision. The rest of the book offers design context and some history alongside tools and tips on how to develop your design ideas - giving you the visual and verbal language to develop and articulate your design ideas. A valuable publication for anyone with an interest in pattern. - Amanda Briggs-Goode, Nottingham Trent University, UK
