Fabric Bank: Alexander Adiels

WORDS Michaela Stehr


Stockholm-based illustrator and pattern designer Alexander Adiels works are available exclusively through local bespoke wallpaper and fabric stockist Fabric Bank.

His work celebrates the art of patterns through both digital and analogue methods portraying abstract imagery combining art, design and puzzles. The wallpaper collection entitled The Laws of Fraction plays on the popular notion of “The Laws of Attraction”.

“A pattern consists of many parts and fractions that needs to go under the same main rule to work together. The smallest piece is just as important as the largest one and each part plays a role in completing the full image,” he explains on the website. “The title is also a reference to natures fractals which can be found everywhere, in plants, animals, minerals etc. Fractals are a kind of pattern so I thought it would be fitting to use it in the title of the collection.”
