Lit House
Product Concept • Surface Pattern Design
MFA Student Project, Tyler School of Art
Art Direction by Bryan Satalino
Lit House is a concept for a brand new kind of home decor. Inspired by classic novels and children's stories, it transports beloved worlds off of the printed page and into your home.
Reilly Toile
This modern take on a French toile is inspired by John Kennedy Toole’s classic, A Confederacy of Dunces. The story is set in New Orleans, Louisiana and follows a cast of characters, including Ignatius J. Reilly, the “Don Quixote of the French Quarter.”
The colorways were inspired by Ignatius's love of food.
The artwork was drawn by hand in pencil to create a warm, classic look.
Gatsby Deco
This geometric Art Deco pattern is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic, The Great Gatsby. Printed with gold and silver inks, it is as sophisticated as a West Egg soirée.
Jungle Kingdom
This pattern is inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s collection of stories that comprise The Jungle Book. Featuring the flora and fauna of the Indian rainforest, this pattern will show a bit of your wild side.
Inspired by shifting colors throughout the day, the colorways range from deep blue, to dusty teal, to electric green. The animals and plants were drawn in pencil for a kid-friendly approach to the mysterious jungle.
Paris Vines
Featuring French architecture and a certain ribbon-brimmed hat, this pattern evokes the world of Ludwig Bemelmans’ classic series, Madeline.
The colorways are sophisticated yet kid-friendly. A combination of pencil and digital drawing was used for a look that is classic and tactile.
