-DESIGNERS-

Kjell Bolin

Born in 1935. Raised in Bodum parish in Augermanland, studied under Anders Beckmann after graduating from art school. Widely active as a textile designer, dress designer, and artist. From organic designs with tree and forest motifs to abstract patterns, his works are characterized by delicate touches using steel pens and flat brushes. Winner of Sigwald Bernadotte's Mesterkatten Prize twice in the 1970s. Died in 2006.

MASKROS

It has the meaning of “dandelion” in Swedish, and the dandelion pattern is drawn with a delicate touch as if it were spread over the entire fabric.

TRÄD

Trad means "tree" in Swedish, and the design was inspired by the "elm tree riot" that occurred in 1971. This uproar began with the construction of a subway entrance in the Royal Park in Stockholm due to urban development. An event where the station was to be moved several hundred meters ahead. These elm trees are still planted in the park, and the design depicts a dynamic elm tree full of vitality.
