High-Tech Heritage by Dasha Wagner from usa
designer's own words:
Hundreds of years ago, people designed patterns based on what they saw every day – flowers, trees or birds. What are we surrounded by today? Smartphones, TV and social media. Traveling around the the world now takes only a few hours. Is it possible to design a new modern pattern based on high-tech symbols while following old Japanese design traditions? Definitely, yes! The Wi-Fi icon reminds an element of the ancient Japanese pattern named “Wave”, and the location pin looks like a hydrangea petal (one of the most popular flowers in Japanese culture).
