Muriel Guilaume's work provides me with a wealth of inspiration. She specialises in the use of natural materials such as paper threads and linen to express natural themes and delicate textures through fibre art. I learnt how she uses the lightness and fibre of paper threads to convey botanical structures such as the silky structure of onion roots, and the use of wool and paper blends to enhance the warmth of home textiles, whilst creating a sense of naturalness and durability through linen. Her clever use of material texture and grain through hand weaving and fibre art inspired my small onion and hydroponic plant themed designs.

Swedish style rugs are known for their clear lines, Swedish style rugs are known for their clear lines, repetitive geometric patterns and abstract designs that meet the modern family's need for a serene, natural atmosphere. I chose light greens, yellows and purples for the colour used in my design, echoing the natural tones of the hydroponics, in keeping with the earthy colour and natural theme that Swedish rugs promote.In the jacquard machine design, I borrowed the arrangement pattern of multi-directional and vertical pattern repetition, which makes the pattern intertwined in different directions and increases the sense of visual hierarchy. At the same time, I draw inspiration from Swedish Vintage and modern geometric rugs. The simplicity of the geometric patterns and the use of natural tones in the Swedish Vintage rugs inspired my treatment of patterns and colours, while the modern geometric style prompted me to incorporate clear lines and symmetrical structures into the design, resulting in a balance of modernity and practicality.

The combination of natural themes and modern design is becoming increasingly popular with consumers, especially in the area of carpets and home textiles. Consumers tend to choose products with natural materials and unique designs to create a warm, cosy living space.

Based on Scottish knitwear, the Hilary Grant brand specialises in the use of high quality wools and contemporary geometric patterns that reflect the simplicity of Scandinavian style, creating scarves, blankets and home furnishings with a warm touch and modern aesthetic. Their products cater for the modern consumer's need for minimalist design, with a focus on balancing functionality and design.

My work pursues this same design philosophy, conveying the natural changes in the growing process of hydroponic plants (such as small onions, potatoes and garlic) through the fibrous texture of paper threads and the warmth of wool, while being both modern and functional. The design uses a rich and playful rhythmic pattern with loose orthogonal features to create a relaxed and rhythmic visual experience. I was also inspired by the Swedish-inspired Kilim rug, which is known for its geometric patterns, clear lines and natural tones, and is both a traditional weave and a modern aesthetic.

The contemporary pattern of the piece is combined with an intuitive, optimistic colour palette, with clear lines and recurring motifs, adding a sense of order and modern artistry that creates a warm, natural atmosphere in the home.
