Julia Heurling

I work as a freelance designer and artist specialised in pattern and textile. I am part of Stockholm based design collective Studio Rita.

I aim for my work to have an associative impact on the viewer, in any direction.

I prefer abstract imagery. I find that reduced information opens up for association, imagination and mystery. I believe this is the base for my fascination for patterns. I find an innate energy in repeats. Endless, eternal but absolutely present, demanding my attention. Soothing, calming and comforting, intriguing my mind to wander.

I create patterns for textile and other surfaces. I also work with pattern in installation concepts combining two- and three-dimensional elements.
