Non-exclusive patterns – same pattern is used by different customers
How do exclusive and non-exclusive patterns differ? With non-exclusive terms, several companies have the right to use the same pattern.
Exclusive patterns – exclusive rights to use a pattern
As there are almost as many ways to trade patterns as there are designers, we thought to write a couple of lines about our philosophy on exclusive patterns.
Brand owner – we want you!
Are you a brand owner? Do you wish your brand would be better known? We would love to work with you to increase the awareness of your brand!
Design royalties and the minimum price for a pattern
There are as many ways in selling the designs and their rights as there are designers and their agents. In contrast to many other design houses, the approach of Patternsfrom Agency is not to sell the design, but to lease it, as the copyrights remain in all cases at our designers.
Choose your pattern concept: Classy, Lovely and Whimsical
Our three pattern concepts have a loose brief and color palette which guide the designers in design process. If you are looking for Classy, Lovely or Whimsical Scandinavian pattern, look no longer!

The power of storytelling
Is it possible to describe your company and its operations as a portion of ice cream? Agents did learn how to do it over a Stooripuu workshop.
Involving trainees at the agency
A student from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences has joined the management of Patternsfrom Agency. We are eager to share our experiences of entrepreneurship with the hopes of the future.
Where and how to use patterns?
If you look around yourself, you’ll notice that patterns are used very widely: you’ll find them on the clothes that you wear, in interiors there you live as wallpapers and blankets, on paper napkins that you use during a picnic, on the seat in a tram or a bus, on the the packaging of your food, just to name a few.
A deadline is a deadline
We take each and every pattern request seriously, and offer first-class project management what comes to pattern designing there the dead lines are respected.
Interior designers and architects need patterns too
We would like to introduce an easy-to-reach pattern design service, which is created especially for interior designers and architects. For testing it in practice we would need a couple of brave interior designers/coordinators or architects to work with. Any volunteers among our blog readers?
