I never really gave thought to the amount of design work behind textile patterns. We can appreciate the design of the dress but we rarely consider the fabric as being someone's work of art at one point. But today I learned from Helen of Working Girl Design who introduces the design process of her prints on her beautiful blog. It's so refreshing and inspiring to see the creative process of designers in other fields! I have a new found respect for floral patterns ;)
I probably have no use for this beautiful wood stone designed by Taku Satoh Design Office but I feel like I need to have one... we should all have a bag of these :)
