A little bit about the designers…
Stig Lindberg
Almost a century has passed since this imaginative jack of all trades was born, but he is set to be even more integral to people’s homes than ever. Quite literally. His timeless design style is just as relevant and popular now as it was during the 1950s when his textiles, tableware, children’s book illustrations and TVs filled Swedish homes. Just as we think he would have wanted, Lindberg’s playful, slightly surreal, crazily beautiful and decorative designs can now adorn everybody’s walls with these wallpapers for everyone to love.
Arne Jacobsen
The world-renowned Danish architect and designer who created design history with his furniture, textiles and cutlery. Jacobsen’s designs were so timeless that his work still feels completely contemporary even though almost 75 years have passed since his heyday. It is said that when his strict father forbade him from becoming a “mere” artist, the future design icon staged a revolt by painting the walls of his bedroom white to give him something to draw on. Now his designs have been transformed into wallpapers, we can venture a guess that the young Arne in particular would have been highly delighted with this turn of events.
Viola Gråsten
Viola Gråsten initiated a new era in Swedish textile art with her modernist approach, flowing shapes and unusual colour combinations. Born and educated in Finland, Viola came to Sweden in 1944 when the war resulted in a wool shortage in her native country. She set her audaciously colourful and imaginative mark on everything from long-pile rya rugs to fabrics and quickly became one of Sweden’s most outstanding textile designers. In 1947, employed by well-known designer Atrid Sampe at NK’s textile studio, Viola sensationally revamped the department store’s rya rugs and printed fabrics.
