The present project was initiated with the aim to create pattern modules for use in public environments. My intention was to let the properties, of the specific materials used, have a marked influence on the realisation of the final form. I also wanted to find a material, which is suitable from the perspective of sustainability and possibilities to create modules from it. The work was initiated with a study of some candidate materials and many sketches before I finally made my choice. My decision was clear after a visit to the company Glasfabriken in Kalmar. The choice was therefore to work with pattern modules of glass with laminated pictures. The leading motive for my further work was chosen to be repetition in combination with variation. I chose to sand blast one kind of my modules.

The resulting arrangement consists of a number of different glass pattern modules, which are intended to be used together or as single objects according to what is suitable for the specific environment. I have adapted the production methods for my pictures for serial production and they could therefore be regarded as a sample collection. Th...
