And I started by looking at nature. Patterns are always an elaboration of nature, a microcosm that takes off from shapes in the macrocosm. I observed everything is part of our everyday life, searching for the essence of these things. I still work in this way. Out of observation of the world, there emerges an abstraction, a pattern, which finds its own life once I remove it from the original context.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Essays on design, color, and seasonal elements will inspire readers to look at interiors and fabrics in a new and different way.
