Book of Shapes — generative SVG patterns

About this resource

Book of Shapes by Nikolaj Sokolowski brings together minimal generative patterns. Its collection spans grids, flowing lines, radial forms, isometric compositions and organic structures. It offers starting points for background graphics, posters and visual systems. Each pattern has its own parameters. Woven Grid, for example, exposes columns, rows, displacement, subdivision steps and a seed. A single structure can produce different results without manually redrawing every line. Pattern pages provide Download SVG and Copy for Figma. Vector output supports further editing and scaling. A separate Make a poster route offers a typographic composition using the pattern as configured. Browse thematic groups or popular designs to find a direction. Individual descriptions explain construction principles and credit influences. These notes help you choose a pattern for its underlying character rather than its thumbnail alone.
