Behind the Design: Mosaik

Products

Mar 18

I’m so excited to share the launch of Mosaik, a sound-softening acoustic wall system available in a series of standard designs that I designed, or create your own unique design from over ninety colors of 100% Wool Design Felt.

Inspired from both timeless woven textile patterns and those of German designer Anni Albers, Mosaik puts a new spin on traditional textile design in completely customizable colors.

“I tried to play with the scale of this product, really blowing up the size of a traditional woven pattern and imagining it on the wall. I started with drawing and painting patterns on graph paper that I thought would be interesting at a larger scale. I also experimented with woven paper strips. After that, I moved to Illustrator drawings and reviewed many design prototypes.”
