I’m fascinated by pattern. As a matter of fact, the inspiration behind Film and Furniture was the famous patterned carpet in the corridor of the Overlook Hotel in Kubrick’s The Shining<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. I started to investigate if the carpet was still in production and was led down a rabbit hole of conjecture and\u00a0conspiracy\u00a0 (more on that below). I began to realise that there’s a whole world out there as interested in furniture, carpets and homeware in films as I am.<\/span><\/p>\n A penchant for pattern also led me to discover Patternity<\/strong><\/a> – “The Global Destination for Pattern”. Last week I dropped in to the opening of their Shoreditch exhibition which heralds a five-day celebration of the inspirational power of pattern and the launch of their new book Patternity: A New Way of Seeing<\/a>. I chatted with co-founder, photographer\/art director Anna Murray who together with surface\/product designer Grace Winteringham, set up Patternity in 2009.<\/p>\n
