Fruity repeat pattern in pink and orange

Nordic Patterns is a surface design project inspired by Nordic life and nature — indoor plants, flowers, stones, coastal landscapes, and wild animals. Each collection started with hand-drawn sketches and motifs, then was carefully developed into repeat patterns.

With multiple colorways and adaptable layouts, the designs were created to suit menswear or womenswear, balancing natural inspiration with market relevance across different seasons and styles — from Fruity and Yellow Flowers to Nordic Shores and Polar Bear.
