Devils In The Detail: A Style Guide To Patterns & Applications

As evocative patterns continue to adorn our surroundings and captivate our minds, the surging interest in pattern design—how they are inspired, produced, and desired to function—is the product of a highly-evolved process. "Devils In The Detail: A Style Guide To Patterns & Applications" celebrates and explores the revival of this art form with patterns that go beyond their decorative function, exceeding 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, this book presents the most progressive currents in pattern design by sought-after designers and artists such as Catherine Hammerton, Don Funderburgh, IVANAhelsinki, Julia Rothman, and Maria Yaschuk. In addition to organizing it according to colourways to examine colour relations in pattern design, this book features designers' insights on the stories, materials, and processes behind their work, bringing greater attention and appreciation to the striking details of their innovative patterns. From traditional with a contemporary twist to wholly experimental and abstract, this anthology of works is set to inspire your imagination into unfamiliar territories of pattern and surface design that stimulate our visual, mental, and emotional landscape.
