Ikea x Virgil Abloh - Markerad

Starting in November Ikea is getting ready for the drop of Markerad which is the name of the design collab with Virgil Abloh. 

My Q in my earlier post was if Virgil Abloh gives an artful approach to the anonymous Ikea design,

 which was one of the goals of the collaboration. 

What do you think? 

Se my previous post on Markerad here.

Check Virgil Abloh collab with Vitra and find out why I'm so impressed with the work of this extraordinary man. 

Watch the video above and tell me what you think.

Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik Swedish Wallpaper

Wallpaper by Studio Lisa Bengtsson printed at Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik

For me Ulricehamn is a city I 

pass on my way to my family 

on the west coast.  

Ulricehamn Wallpaper/Tapet Factory/Fabrik 

Ulricehamn was about to be another closed factory when Anna &Thomas you see below, 

took over and restarted this 

proud creative institution. 

I was invited to a wallpaper evening at Björklund&Wingquist

at Kungsholmstorg, 

Stockholm where I've been going to check, touch and feel materials for the past 20+ years and were you meet true knowledge about wall coverings in general and where I met Anna & Thomas from the 

Ulricehamns Wallpaper Factory. 

Below you see Anna&Thomas 

when talking about when they took over  

Ulricehamns Wallpaper Factory/Ulricehamns Tapetfabrik 

Presenting their collaboration with Ulricehamns Wallpaper Factory tonight are Långelid/von Brömssen, 

Camilla Lundsten/Littlephant and 

Studio Lisa Bengtsson.

Hare in hiding by Von Brömssen

Below you see Emma von Brömssen 

and Daniel Långelid that together form 

Långelid/von Brömssen wallpaper brand. 

Their styles and design are quite different from each other so together with their color identity they create an ecclectic unit.

A peep to the past 

A peep to the past is what Daniel Långelid called these perforated peep holes that partly show the illustrated works of Suecia antiqua et hodierna created by Erik Dahlberg in the end of the 1700´s. Through round holes you see parts of the classical work as if you were taking a peep to the past. 

Littlephant is the interior brand created by Camilla Lundsten. Above you see Camilla showing her Elle Award winning wallpaper at Björklund&Wingquist. 

The inspiration to the Aquatic wallpaper pattern you see below comes from the salty sea of the Mediterranean with the white sand and the fantastic creatures that live there. The pattern takes you on a trip from the Amalfi Coast in Italy to the French Riviera and breathes both soothing sea hues as well as elegant graphic rhythm.
