1950s Retro and Mid-Century Patterns

A collection of authentic Mid-Century inspired seamless patterns for retro designers and enthusiasts.

The design of the 1950s represent one of the most creative periods in history. A combination of a post war optimism and technological advances brought with it innovations across interior design, architecture, fashion and textiles that defined a generation. Expressed through modern, abstract visuals, it’s themes of contemporary lifestyles, nature worship, and a brave new world still resonate with collectors and enthusiasts today.

In this tradition i’ve developed a collection of original seamless patterns designed to be as authentic as possible. They are made with hand-drawn elements carefully converted to vector format allowing you to edit and resize without any loss in quality. You can choose to use the preset pattern or simply double click the swatch in Adobe Illustrator to edit to your hearts content.
