Tiivistelmä
The topic of the present thesis is about creating unique pattern designs. The idea was to present the final pattern designs on kitchen-ware textiles. The patterns are designed with inspiration from Japan, for instance Japanese cultural elements, nature and symbols.
The thesis consisted of the following stages; theory, design experimentation, quantitative research, final product samples and discussion. Before the design process, theoretical knowledge of textile design was gained, and pattern categorizations, Japanese inspirational sources, elements and principals of design were considered. The next step was an experimental design process to design several pattern samples. In the end five of the patterns were selected for further research. An online survey as a quantitative research method was designed to investigate the market demand and find which pattern was the most popular one.
The outcome of the project is a range of kitchen-ware textiles designed with the pattern which was selected through the questionnaire. The results of the survey proved the pattern Nordic butterflies was the most popular. Therefore, a range of kitchen-ware textile products were designed to present the layout and appearance of this pattern on certain products. Later several 3D samples of the products were displayed in a kitchen model.
