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.”

Local bespoke wallpaper and surface design studio Robin Sprong‘s latest wallpaper offering includes the abstract shapes and nature-inspired motifs of Swedish illustrator and pattern designer Alexander Adiels.

This collection of whimsical wallpapers was designed in Alexander’s small home office in Stockholm. Once a wardrobe, Alexander notes that his office may appear small and cluttered to some, but that he finds his creative fantasies thrive in a room without windows.

Alexander usually conjures his pattern ideas when he is not working. In an effort to defeat boredom, he likes to have numerous projects on the go at once. He uses both analogue drawings/paintings and digital techniques to add more interesting surfaces and structures to his work.

His style can be described as a mix between figurative and abstract, and his main focus is always to take a step back from how reality is perceived and “make it into something else, where each wallpaper is its own little universe”.

Love this collection? It’s available locally via Robin Sprong. Keep an eye out for another collaboration in 2021 and follow Alexander on Instagram (@alexanderadiels) to see more of his work.
