From the “green cathedral” (jungle collection)

The motifs use clean, flat-color shapes (with light additional textures here and there) together with sharp graphic lines always looking for a high-definition clarity

EN: Here is a seamless pattern featuring graphic flowers blooms

The hero flower is drawn like a strong and agile tropical creature in flight with deep coral red petals that form a rounded body, and teal-green leaves open like wings. Some fine pink-gold filament roots trail beneath like a shimmering wake.

The supporting elements act like small closed buds that read like distant “companions” in the sky. They are made of an architectural fan-palms with a tiny rising buds in the heart.

I imagined a botanical dream where flowers drift poetically and weightlessly through warm air.

As a dreamlike jungle scene where flora possesses the weightless grace of fauna

FR: La fleur principale est dessinée telle une créature tropicale, puissante et agile en plein vol : ses pétales rouge corail profond forment un corps arrondi, tandis que ses feuilles vert sarcelle se déploient comme des ailes. De fines racines filamenteuses, d’un rose doré, se prolongent sous elle comme un sillage scintillant.

Les éléments secondaires agissent comme de petits boutons fermés, tels des “compagnons” lointains dans le ciel. Ils sont composés de palmes en éventail très architecturales, abritant en leur cœur un minuscule bourgeon naissant.

J’ai imaginé un rêve botanique où les fleurs dérivent avec poésie, en apesanteur, dans un air chaud. Une scène de jungle onirique où la flore possède la grâce aérienne de la faune

All over scatter pattern, where the vertical alignment of the “flying” stalks creates a kind of upward rhythm and an intentionally irregular placement that avoids obvious rows or columns for an effortless movement across the surface.

Spacing is open and breathable, with consistent negative space to keep the pattern light. It’s a medium scale with a clear two-tier rhythm, where the larger “flying queen” blooms act as anchor motifs and the smaller buds and fan palms fill the air between them.

This seamless half-drop repeat arranges the motifs in staggered rows, creating a steady diagonal rhythm and smooth all-over continuity across the surface.

The design pairs the geometric discipline of Art Deco-inspired botanical fan forms with the organic grace of prowling black panthers, all rendered in a modern, graphic illustration style that keeps the composition crisp and decorative.

Timeless and trend-forward at once, the Art Deco geometry and curated, limited palette feel enduring, while the “hidden animal” storytelling adds a fresh, contemporary twist for tropical-themed collections. The overall effect reads like a high-end botanical study reimagined for a modern luxury brand, and it also sits comfortably within today’s “Jungalow” and “Modern Regency” interior directions.

Note on “Jungalow”
“Jungalow” is a blend of jungle and bungalow: a warm, eclectic, bohemian look that mixes lush tropical elements with cozy, relaxed home vibes—think abundant greenery, handcrafted décor, and a lived-in sense of comfort. It’s not untamed jungle and not minimalist modern; it’s layered, creative, personal, and joyful without feeling strict or overly pared back

With the blue background, a “tropical night garden” vibe takes on jungle storytelling. The deep blue background shifts the collection into a nocturnal mood, making the cool greens feel more luminous and the panthers more integrated like shadows moving through foliage. Yellow accents pop more sharply against the darker field.W

The Pink Edition breathes new life into tropical design with a high-energy, maximalist palette. The soft, warm pink background flips the mood from classic jungle to playful/chic. The pink color twist feels more like a “resort cocktail” than rainforest realism. It reinterprets the mysterious jungle theme through a whimsical, high-fashion lens, making it feel energetic rather than somber.

Ce motif sans raccord en demi-saut (half-drop) dispose les éléments en rangées décalées pour créer un rythme diagonal constant sur toute la surface.

Le design coordonne la structure géométrique des palmes en éventail d’inspiration Art déco avec les formes organiques de panthères noires en mouvement. Cet équilibre est rendu par une approche graphique moderne, avec des silhouettes décoratives nettes.

Ce motif est plutôt intemporel, mais a aussi des accents modernes ; la géométrie Art déco associée à une palette de couleurs restreinte lui confère un attrait classique, tandis que la narration de l’animal caché apporte le nouveau souffle de thématiques tropicales actuelles. Il évoque une étude botanique haut de gamme réécrite par exemple pour une marque de luxe contemporaine. Cette esthétique s’inscrit parfaitement dans les tendances de décoration intérieure «Modern Regency» ou «Jungalow».

Le terme «Jungalow» (contraction de jungle et bungalow) fait référence à un style chaleureux, éclectique et bohème. Il marie avec brio la luxuriance de la végétation tropicale et l’atmosphère accueillante et décontractée d’un intérieur habité.

EN: This seamless pattern features spotted giraffes tucked between layered palm fronds and fan leaves, set on playful overlapping palm fronds build a near wall-to-wall canopy, while the animals appear as intermittent focal points. The “overlapping” technique creates a dense, immersive atmosphere. Spacing is intentionally tight, creating a lush rhythm without obvious rows, which helps the repeat feel natural and non-tracking on large surfaces.

The aesthetic of my design balances a contemporary flat illustration (graphic clarity) with the hand drawn decorative details of the palms and tropical foliage (arched fronds, fan palms, fern-like sprays).

The palette is composed of emerald, sage, and teal greens, accented by dusty blue and warm ochre.

FR: Ce motif sans raccord met en scène des girafes nichées au cœur de feuille de palmiers en éventail superposées. Ces palmes s’entrecroisent pour former une canopée presque continue, où les animaux apparaissent comme des points focaux intermittents. Cette technique de chevauchement crée une atmosphère dense et immersive. L’espacement, volontairement serré, génère un rythme luxuriant sans rangées apparentes, ce qui permet à la répétition de rester naturelle et d’éviter tout effet de marquage sur les grandes surfaces. Du feuillage tropical (grandes feuilles arquées, palmiers éventails) jaillissements de fougères).

L’esthétique du design équilibre une illustration plutôt plate (légèrement texturée, mais sans relief) contemporaine (recherche de clarté graphique) avec la richesse des détails décoratifs et le rendu dessins en qualité analogique.

La palette se compose de vert émeraude, sauge rehaussés par des touches de bleu canard et d’ocre chaleureux.

For instance, the pink background adds contemporary, fashion-forward contrast, making the overall mood vibrant, and escaping that way, the classic jungle imagery reinterpreted with a playful color story.

in the ” green cathdral / jungle ‘collection

Designed as part of a coordinated tropical flower jungle collection, with tangled stem structures providing a strong visual signature and compatibility with companion botanical patterns.

The bold, graphic silhouettes of the stylized tropical birds are perched among the flowing branches, the oversized blossoms, and the fig-like fruits, form a richly layered botanical scene. This seamless pattern, display a lush fig tree foliage and vibrant exotic birdlife.

Primary motifs, the tropical flowers and birds, are large enough to act as focal elements while the secondary elements (leaves, stems, buds, fruits) are scaled to support flow and visual cohesion. Tangled, vine-like stems create an interconnected structure that fills the surface evenly

This design coould be called “Carbon Kinship”

Trees, connected to one another, would communicate and exchange nutrients through a network of roots shaped like artichoke flowers — why not? (the illustrator makes the call).

Victor Hugo speaks of it:

A motif with fewer elements than the earlier components of this collection, and a deliberately very square repeat that nonetheless remains somewhat dense. I see it more as suited to gift wrap or small-scale fabric. It shares a similar vibe with a previous motif (I only realized this afterward — if it feels too redundant, I’ll exclude it from the collection).
To be seen…

The design showcases bold, arched fronds with purple ribbing and woven terracotta trunks, punctuated by smaller fern-like icons that balance 

This is a seamless half-drop (staggered) repeat with a strong vertical orientation. The motifs are arranged in alternating columns, creating a “wave” effect that softens the verticality and prevents the eye from seeing harsh, horizontal tiling lines. The large palm trees serve as anchors, while smaller architectural plant icons and fern fronds fill the negative space. The density is medium-high, offering a lush, densely forested feel that remains organized.

A staggered half-drop repeat that creates a rhythmic, diagonal flow across the surface.

A light and deep blue background creates a”Midnight Jungle” vibe !

EN: Savannah Spring” is a whimsical spot-cluster, half-drop repeat. The clean separation between motifs ensures a fluid, frictionless transition across the surface. This design introduces a generous use of negative space, allowing each illustrated cluster (composed of vibrant orange blooms, cool teal fronds, and soft gray safari animals)to breathe and remain distinct without overcrowding the composition.

FR: Cette déclinaison du motif “savane au printemps” délaisse son fond sombre et mystérieux au profit d’une base crème plus lumineuse, transformant le design en une composition botanique plus ouverte et printanière. Cette palette en tons clairs adoucit les motifs graphiques, conférant au motif une esthétique naturaliste. Un ensemble sophistiqué et baigné de lumière.

Suivant les fonds choisis, ce motif peut relever du ton vintage ou il peut tout aussi bien offrir une esthétique polyvalente et intemporelle, parfaitement adaptée au design de surface contemporain.

From blue to cream

This iteration of the “Savannah Spring” pattern swaps a moody base for a luminous cream background, transforming the design into a fresh, daytime botanical display. The high-key palette softens the graphic motifs, lending the pattern a naturalist vibe. Sophisticated and light filled.

This design offers a versatile, timeless aesthetic for contemporary surface design.
