Pattern Pulp

Robert Allen for Dwell




We get lots of press inquiries at Pattern Pulp. Sometimes they’re extremely helpful, and keep us looking at the latest and greatest, though other times there’s just a lot excess. With the gift show currently in action, the emails have been flying! This collaboration caught our eye though- it’s between Robert Allen and Christiane Lemieux of Dwell Studio.

The palette’s fresh and the patterns are bold. These outdoor pieces are a welcome alternative to the geometric prep that’s been circulating for years now. What do you think, are you a fan?

 

Made in the Shade Pattern Contest!




Dwell‘s serving up a little pattern competition for all of you up and coming designers out there! Forwarded along by our good friend, Jaye Davis, it looks like Dwell and Lutron® are teaming up for a crowd-sourced experiment with the opportunity to win a nice deal of press and acclaim.

The Challenge: Create a pattern treatment that will seamlessly move with the treatment up and down, all the while maintaining fabric pleats. Get inspired by raucous mid-century prints, Knoll, Day, Eames- anyone! The grand prize winner’s pattern will become a standard offering in Lutron’s collection of fabrics. For more info, click here.
