Mamacorp is a French narrative pattern and textile design studio founded by Thelma Derame, a pattern designer and writer. Trained first in pattern design in France and then in textile printing in Montreal, Thelma developed a multidisciplinary practice built around storytelling. The studio works across seasonal collections, bespoke (sur-mesure) commissions, and illustration for home, lifestyle, art and craft, and architectural clients. Mamacorp exhibits at Salon Maison & Objet Paris and Salon Playtime Paris.
Mamacorp's aesthetic is hand-drawn, generously detailed, and narrative-led. Patterns are described as "bursting with quirky and touching stories inspired by a comforting strangeness." The studio draws from naturalist traditions and textile history, building colour and texture through hand-drawn mark-making. Selected Instagram pattern images suggest illustrative, expressive compositions with richly coloured motifs and strong decorative character.
