Chado fika exhibition

My design and pattern for the exhibition ’Skål – Chado and fika’ that opened at the Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo and in Kyoto in 2018. Scandinavian design and Japanese craft in collaboration. Chado bowl with my design handpainted and a mini fan with my chanterelle/blueberry pattern.

Sashiko embroidery

Unik – exhibition

In october 2016 the exhibition Unik – Origin of Scandinavian Design opens at the Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo. 28 Scandinaivan designers participate with one pattern each, inspired from a place of birth or childhood. The patterns are made in sashiko embroidery, an old handcraft from Japan. My pattern 'Stuga' is the first step to the pattern I participate with in the Tokyo exhibition 'Unik – Origin of Scandinavian Design'. My pattern is inspired from the Swedish county Småland, from where both my dad and my mum's mother are from. My dad grew up on a big farm with lots of animals, I've heard stories about Småland since I was a child and they are my inspiration for the patterns.

The original pattern will also be produced for varoius products in Japan.
