This study aims to present a novel approach in creation of new patterns for woven textiles, which is based
on musical scores. Such a design method has not been presented in the literature. It is based on the
similarity between the music notation and the 2D coding of woven patterns. Theoretical and practical
details on application of the design method are discussed. Weave patterns, based on famous musical
pieces, are presented together with exemplary color designs. The four ‘musical’ patterns and their color
designs could be considered as successful first attempts that open up additional opportunities for design
and production of original, unique fabrics.
