The Crafts Council celebrates our newly resurrected interest in pattern, bringing together a wide range of work by more than 30 UK-based artists and designers.

The gallery has been covered from floor to ceiling with pieces that range from paintings and patterned flooring to wallpaper and furniture, as well as sound patterns and computer-generated images.

Don't expect Laura Ashley posies or the cottagey kitsch of Cath Kidston - this show celebrates the progressive thinking involved in pattern application across the disciplines. Bashir Makhoul's bullet-holed wallpaper references the bullet holes scarring the walls of Beirut and sits in stark contrast to Brian Eno's mesmerising computer-generated visual works.

Pattern Crazy, from Thur 4 Jul, Crafts Council, 44A Pentonville Road, N1 (020-7278 7700).
