About Pattern Reborn Kulturelt Produktdesign
Pattern Reborn er en serie af kulturelle produkter og postervisuelle udtryk baseret på traditionelle kinesiske håndværksmønstre. Motiverne er hentet fra traditionel beklædning og keramik og dekonstrueres og fortolkes derefter på ny gennem moderne design. Mønstrene bearbejdes digitalt for at opnå præcision og påføres materialer som tekstiler og keramik. Produktionsmetoderne omfatter digitaltryk, lasergravering og keramisk brænding ved høj temperatur. De visuelle udtryk tilpasses forskellige størrelser og sammenhænge. Formålet er at bevare traditionelt håndværk og give mønstrene en tydelig plads i det moderne liv.
