Pattern design, reimagined

Create patterns.
Explore possibilities.

Paraforms is surface pattern design software built for creating, recoloring, coordinating, transforming and presenting patterns.

Create. Recolor. Coordinate.

Build patterns from structured geometry.

Start with the coordinate evergreens. Stripes, chevrons, plaids, ogees, herringbones, scallops and more provide a flexible foundation for supporting patterns and coordinated collections. Try the slimmed-down Chevron below for a sample of how one of Paraforms’ dedicated geometry engines turns structure, scale and color into instant variation.

Composer

Bring your own artwork into the pattern.

Import a motif and reshape it into new repeats, coordinates, blenders and variations through scale, rotation, color and arrangement.

Change the mood without rebuilding the pattern.

Paraforms is built around color experimentation. Explore palettes, generate colorways and see coordinated patterns update immediately.

Instant colorways

Move through completely different visual directions without rebuilding your pattern.

Color logic

Use structured recoloring tools designed specifically for pattern workflows.

Coordinates

Develop supporting patterns that belong naturally beside your hero designs.

See it in action

Start with a pattern. End somewhere unexpected.

Stack visual effects to add texture, depth, distortion, dimension and character. Combine effects freely and discover entirely new interpretations of the same underlying design.
