MAKERS TO WATCH '25
NICK CROWE
The Pattern Book
@thepatternbook
Aesthetic of the Line?
Restored or reworked drawings and
graphics curated from historic archives,
bookshops and flea markets. Ecoconscious.
Vintage. Instructional or
educational. Beautiful enough to frame.
Current Bestseller? Typographic Birthday,
created from the Condensed Specimen
Book from the Boston Type Foundry, an
1860 catalog of typographic characters and
elements. Its success indicates the enduring
appeal of the art of graphic design.
Personal Favorite? Camera Features.
Many of our cards are niche, appealing
to obsessed hobbyists and enthusiasts. It
sounds geeky, but an important part of
any hobby or interest involves reading
instruction manuals, which I enjoy
doing - they give me a sense of control.
This bold, clear image is from a 1946
Contax camera manual.
Surprise Hit? Language of Flowers. We
work with several leading galleries
and museums, including the Science
Museum in London, and
some give us exclusive
access to their archives.
This is from an early
1900s Garden Museum
in London postcard. We
thought it
fit our range
well, but had no idea that
the Victorian craze of
endowing flowers with
symbolic meanings would
still prove so popular.
Iconic Selection? Chemistry
of Birthday Candle. This
card was in our very first
range 10 years ago. It represents our core
design process: Find a stunning graphic,
digitally
" Birthday
Candle "
restore, then, if something
suggests itself, add a twist (in this case
substituting
for
" Combustion and Illumination " ). It's been
a bestseller ever since.
Favorite Color? Verdigris. I am constantly
admiring my verdigris-coated copper
sink at home. It's the color of oxidation, of
natural processes, of change.
Current Design Obsession? Sometimes
an obsession can lead down a rabbit
hole from which there's no escape. I've
been trying and failing to design a card
depicting Swan fountain pens, from
early 20th-century print adverts. Sounds
easy, doesn't it?
Favorite Flower? I recently climbed a
Munro in the Scottish Highlands and
discovered a high-altitude landscape
carpeted in bright mosses, alpine plants and
lichen. They were so beautifully arranged
they could have been on display in a Chelsea
Flower Show garden.
Favorite Indulgence? 85% cocoa chocolate.
Can an indulgence be something you
indulge in daily?!
