Patterns, Inside the Design Library

An insider’s guide to the world’s largest archive of patterns and textiles, the source of inspiration for the globe’s top designers

Every season, designers from fashion, home furnishings, textiles, graphic arts, and paper-product industries seek inspiration from patterns to bring their collections to life.

Many of these designers - including Beacon Hill, Boden, Calvin Klein, Clinique, Colefax & Fowler, Lululemon, Nike, Oscar de la Renta, Pottery Barn, and Target - look to the Design Library, the world’s largest archive of surface design. This one-of-a-kind book, drawn from the Design Library’s archive, is an exclusive and ultimate sourcebook of pattern and ornament.

The book features case studies from major fashion and lifestyle brands - Beacon Hill, Boden, Calvin Klein, Clinique, Colefax & Fowler, Lululemon, Nike, Oscar de la Renta, Pottery Barn, Target, and Uniqlo - each presenting a unique design inspired by a pattern from the Design Library collection
