description Abstract Nowadays, the aesthetic appearance of a product becomes more and more important in several industries. Psychologic studies and researches highlighted that beside the functionality of a product, aesthetic appearance is one of the key factors of the decision-making process before buying a product. The geometric properties—such as basic geometries and lines—of patterns that are simple structures, usually consist of replication of simple elements or their mathematically described modifications. These are all in connection with human emotions. A software called EmPatGen (Emotional Pattern Generator) has been developed that creates patterns automatically based on user preferences. The focus of this research is to support the work of product designers in the automotive industry. With the aid of this program, they are able to design the most aesthetically pleasing car interiors and fulfill specific customer requirements in a much easier manner. This study focuses on the connections of basic geometries and lines created with the introduction of a novel pattern generator program and mathematical model which is based on fuzzy logic.
