Patterns: Inside the Design Library

The Design Museum, in partnership with Phaidon, is launching “Patterns”, 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 by Peter Koepke, the owner and director of the Design Library, is an exclusive and ultimate sourcebook of pattern and ornament.
