Artful Patterns
Sabine Röhse creates refined, linear designs for fabrics, products, wallpapers, and acoustic panels.
Cologne-based textile designer Sabine Röhse champions clean lines—her work brings a distinctly modern, serene quality to wallpapers, acoustic panels, fabrics, and products like wine glasses. A native of Oberhausen, she studied product design at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences in Krefeld and at Duncan of Jordanstone College in Dundee, Scotland. In 2009, she established her own design studio in Cologne's Ehrenfeld neighborhood. For Röhse, selecting motifs means balancing personal experience with rigorous design thinking. Her 02 Architecture wallpaper collection draws inspiration from buildings close to her heart—Cologne Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower among them. Each panel measures 100 x 300 cm, and the repeating patterns can be produced to custom specifications. The letter design from her 04 I do not like collection features typographic characters arranged in layered, overlapping compositions. These digitally printed wallpapers are offered in multiple colorways. Most recently, Röhse designed two patterns for Resopal's 2020 Bauhaus Collection, produced as acrylic niche back panels measuring 3,600 x 620 x 3.7 mm. Geofields showcases a distinctive large-scale, hand-drawn structure inspired by a drawing her father created—a pattern that captivated her as a child and has remained vivid in her memory ever since. It comprises simple parallel lines interwoven with additional strokes at varying angles.
