A walk through the woods, a few gathered twigs – and suddenly a new chapter begins in the sketchbook.
The Twikado collection was born from just such a moment: from the desire not only to depict nature, but to translate it into form. And from the fascination with how much graphic potential can be found in the smallest of things.
Twigs as Lines – Carefully Composed
For this series, I collected real twigs, scanned them, and treated them like building blocks: arranging, rotating, and mirroring them – until patterns emerged that look as if they were painted. The result is four designs that play with structure and rhythm:
- fine checks
- calm stripes
- evenly scattered twigs
- and the word TWIG, assembled from the found pieces
Each design tells its own story of order and play – and of how design sometimes begins simply within the material itself.
Natural Elements – With a Modern Contrast
The color palette combines earthy browns, mossy greens, and soft pinks with deliberate accents of bold pink.
This contrast gives the calm forms a contemporary edge – making the patterns versatile for bags, accessories, or home textiles.
A Name Like a Game
The name Twikado blends “Twig” and “Mikado” – the classic pick-up sticks game. It brings a sense of playfulness to the collection while pointing to the precise arrangement of its graphic elements.
Twikado is a game with twigs, but also with structure:
How clear can something appear that once grew at random?
How modern can nature look when seen from a different perspective?
I hope these patterns become fabric for your own projects – and perhaps also for a fresh way of looking at what lies just outside.
