As evocative patterns continue to adorn our surroundings and captivate our minds, the surging interest in pattern design and how they are inspired, produced and desired to function is the product of a highly-evolved process. This book celebrates and explores the revival of this art form with patterns that go beyond their decorative function as they exceed our expectations with playful formations of thought-provoking depths and the creative ways they are applied. With over 250 full-page close-ups of patterns and photographs of their applications in all their exhilarating details, Patterns presents the most progressive currents in pattern design by 26 of the most sought-after designers and artists.
