repatterned

Repatterned is the adjective describing something that has had its pattern rearranged, redesigned, or replaced. The verb to repattern means to arrange again according to a new or altered pattern. The term is formed with the prefix re- and is used across English to indicate alteration or replacement of an existing pattern, in a variety of contexts including design and manufacturing.

In textiles and fashion, repatterned describes fabrics or garments that have been altered from their original pattern. Techniques include altering cut lines, rearranging motifs, combining elements from different patterns, or repurposing existing fabric to create a new aesthetic. Repatterned clothing is often part of upcycling and sustainable fashion.

In interior design and architecture, repatterned can refer to changes in motifs used in wallpaper, tiling, carpets, or decorative screens; or to changes in the arrangement of spatial elements that produce a different visual rhythm or flow.

In digital design and data visualization, repatterning can describe changing recurring motifs in a graphic, or reconfiguring data representations to emphasize different relationships. In manufacturing and software, pattern repatterning may denote retooling templates, patterns, or templates used to produce components, garments, or interfaces.

The term is generic and context-dependent; it does not carry a single formal discipline but is used wherever an existing pattern is altered or replaced.
