We’re known for our pattern design. Alongside colour, pattern is something that underpins both our brand consultancy Brand Temple and our sister company – luxury accessories business Furious Goose. It’s where both practices overlap.
Last year we launched a new pattern as part of a collection of accessories inspired by the Thames – which flows right outside our studio.
Rather than taking a more illustrative route, we wanted this collection to be built around what is, in effect, a brand pattern. Something more than a motif. A scalable design system.
It took time to develop and finesse, but that investment now allows the pattern to be applied with real versatility. The Thames repeat can live on packaging, prints, textiles or environments — moving between surfaces and techniques almost at the click of a button.
We’ve just received the final proofs of the pattern woven into jacquard silk, which will be used for upholstery as well as bow ties. It’s incredibly satisfying to create a fabric entirely from scratch — bespoke to our brand, and carrying so much personal meaning.
The same pattern has also been applied to packaging as a holographic foil block, and screen-printed onto cashmere in metallic ink. One pattern. Many expressions.
