Abstract

Pattern design is a territory which has been widely explored by many during a long period of time. With this project I hope to shine a new light on wallpaper design, the area on which I’ve applied my patterns to. The inspiration for this wallpaper collection originated in a past project in which I experimented with weaving strips of paper together in different ways. During this time I found myself curious to investigate how this kind of weaving could be applied to textiles, wallpapers, etc. My main focus in this project has been about creating interesting patterns in which unexpected motifs are woven together. I’ve also touched on the subject of creating a kind of conceptual wallpaper constructed by weaving strips of wallpaper together. I based my patterns on a series of drawings that I created during the course leading up to this project. For example, one of the four patterns consists of books where the pages has been cut to strips and then been woven together. The final result conists of a wallpaper sample book in which I’ve collected all four patterns in three colourways each. For some added value I included two types of handwowen wallpapers in my collection book, as to give a sense of what might come next.
