Rapport! : en bok om att göra mönster

by Lotta Kühlhorn

Lotta Kühlhorn är en av Sveriges mest framträdande mönsterformgivare. Hon har gjort allt ifrån bokomslag till kaffeserviser. Du har antagligen redan sett något av hennes mönster utan att du tänkt på att det är hennes.
I den här boken berättar hon om sin bakgrund, vad hon inspireras av och hur hon gör sina mönster. Hon ger dig råd om stort som smått inom mönsterformgivning. Du kommer att lära dig massor om färg och form och den rätta känslan, så att du kan börja jobba med dina egna mönster. Och som hjälp på traven får du också förslag på 10 projekt att göra själv.

Beautiful examples and great insight on a surface patterns methods of finding pattern everywhere. I found Lotta’s method of being inspired, making motifs, then digitizing—the same as the method I’m currently learning in my Surface Design course.

More of a personal story than the book of patterns, but still pretty inspiring stuff, showing an individual pathway of a particular artist-small business owner.

Gorgeous and inspiring. I really liked the way she wrote too, very poetic for an ostensibly practical how-to book. Gonna start some pattern designing!

A refreshing book. The author simply teaches the art of pattern recognition in everyday life and our surroundings by taking inspiration from her own upbringing and the way she notices patterns. She shares insights into her pattern-making process and gives practical advice on how we can create our own patterns from wallpapers to furnitures. However, I read this book expecting to learn more about different patterns and perhaps more pattern-making techniques and systems but was left with a glimpse of it.
