The exhibition presents pattern sketches by famous designers and artists in dialogue with a selection o·f contemporary artworks by Jacob Hashimoto, Yinka Shonibare, Shahzia Sikander, and Henrik Vibskov. The exhibition shows original patterns by William Morris, Anni Albers, Stig Lindberg, Viola Grasten and many more.
