Circles overlap in tessellated arrangement suggesting mosaic tradition translated into contemporary pattern vocabulary. Loff employs circular forms at uniform scale, their intersection creating secondary geometric shapes where boundaries meet and colour fields overlap.
The pattern constructs visual complexity through simple repetition: individual circles arranged so neighbouring forms share edges, creating interlocking composition. Overlapping areas generate tonal variation—where circles intersect, colours blend or layer, producing tertiary tones enriching the palette beyond primary colour assignment. Cool muted tones dominate across colourways: soft greys, dusty blues, sage greens, muted terracottas preventing chromatic intensity despite pattern density. This restrained palette allows the geometric complexity visual interest without colour competition. The aesthetic references mid-century tilework, Islamic geometric traditions, and contemporary Scandinavian pattern design valuing restraint within repetition.
Printed in Cornwall with precise registration maintaining crisp circular edges and accurate colour layering where forms intersect.
Loff's versatility lies in its tonal restraint balancing geometric busyness. The pattern suits minimalist interiors providing textural interest without disrupting colour discipline, whilst maximalist schemes incorporate it as one layer amongst pattern accumulation. Works in bathrooms referencing tile traditions, kitchens, powder rooms, or feature walls in living spaces. The circular geometry reads softer than angular alternatives, curves preventing harsh visual impact despite dense arrangement. Scale remains moderate, suitable for various room sizes without overwhelming intimate spaces.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
- Width: 75cm per roll
- Length: 7 metres
- Pattern alignment: Straight match
- Repeat: Regular geometric repeat
- Installation: Butt joint
CARE: Wipe clean with damp cloth; the muted tones and busy pattern conceal minor surface marks within geometric complexity.
BRING THIS HOME Where circles meet and overlap, mosaic logic becomes wallpaper through muted tones that busy geometry somehow calms.

Botanical Prints: From Pressed Specimens To Contemporary Wallpaper
Botanical illustration began as scientific documentation, artists translating three-dimensional plants into flat images serving both informational and aesthetic purposes. This exploration traces the journey from pressed herbarium specimens and watercolour expeditions to contemporary wallpaper, examining how printing techniques evolved from copperplate engraving through William Morris' screen printing to digital reproduction whilst maintaining essential character: beauty emerging from accuracy rather than imposed upon it.

Woven Ground: The Cultural Geography of Handmade Rugs
Handwoven rugs carry geography in their fibres. The wool came from specific mountains where specific plants fed specific sheep; the dyes derive from regional botanicals; the patterns preserve cultural memory encoded in visual language. From Persian workshop medallions to Berber mountain abstractions to Scandinavian restraint, each tradition represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, techniques refined through generations. This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
