Alan designs beautiful patterns.

PATTERN TALES® brand was launched in early 2008, created with the idea of bringing versatility into prints; ornamental themes, clean geometries meet inventive colour combinations, where visual identity becomes elegant.

Our designs can be applied to anything and everything you could think of, from wallpaper, furniture, textiles, clothing, tiles, note books and kitchen appliances to the most unimaginable plain object that can come alive once a pattern touches it.

We offer endless designs in four different ways: commissioned upon brief, final product on demand, creative consultancy and pattern licensing.

For further information see below.

We offer the following design services:

1. Commissioned patterns and prints based on client’s brief.

2. Made-to-order final product: wallpaper and textiles (quantities on demand).

3. Creative outsourcing consultancy to companies and design departments.

4. Pattern licensing for companies.

TOPO CHOCO, limited edition handmade designed non-woven wallpaper!

TOPO CHOCO is an organic approach to the art of painted wallpaper. A high quality product with a fresh and contemporary sensibility, that plays around with a lo-fi. This handmade pattern was created with the concept of freedom of lines. Heterogeneous forms are unified by using the same colour. It is reminiscent of the beauty that exists within chaos and randomness.

TOPO CHOCO is a rich and exquisite combination of pale grey and chocolate brown mixed to perfection, a more dramatic and refined finish, suitable for a sophisticated palate.

Printed on non-woven paper brought directly from Finland. Our handmade designed wallpaper is available in rolls of 10m (11yds) x 53cm (20.86ins).

Base colour: pale grey (comparable to Pantone Cool Grey 1U).
Print colour: chocolate (comparable to Pantone 7531U).

Picnic's Cineplexx poster. Commission based pattern for Portia Records. Los Angeles (2008).

We were asked to create a poster for the launch of Picnic (latest Cineplexx album), and worked with the idea of a vintage children's book making a collage full of rabbits in costumes to look like a classic tale. This pattern was developed under the lettering process; ornamentals letters C and P joined together to generate a retro feel texture.
