Tricia Guild is known for her bold and original fabric and wallpaper collections and her extraordinary ability to use colour and pattern in decoration. She is inspired by fabrics, techniques, motifs and designs from all over the world and from every period of history - brocades and damasks from the Far East; the rich history of botanical illustration and flower painting; checks, plaids and stripes from northern Europe; vibrant ethnic prints from India and Central America; painterly designs from Chinese and European porcelain; the bold abstracts and geometric patterns of contemporary painters.

Lavishly illustrated with contemporary, archival and museum images, Pacific Pattern takes us on a stunning visual journey through the history of the Pacific, the various techniques and culture associated with fibre and fabric.
This is the first book to cover not only the ritual domain but everyday patterns, including floor coverings, cooking and storage containers and the use of fibre art in architecture and interiors.
This treasure trove of inspiration will be an indispensable sourcebook for artists, craftspeople, designers, architects and anyone who has ever been interested in what anthropologists can tell us about the expression of our deepest feelings and beliefs.
