I do love Swedish design, do ya?

I would like to introduce you Lisa Bengtsson, a unique designer from Sweden. Yet she is very young (29), she had created own success brand. I find her quite interesting due to her career path: she started working in a newspaper, then she worked in advertising and finally, when she realised she wants to be a graphic designer, she went to school. Lisa had graduated from Berghs School of Communication and opened her own company. And what she successfully does for years, is designing wallpapers, magnificent ones. Lisa is well known for her two creations: “Familjen” and “Svärmor”.

“Familjen”
Probably you have seen many times this white wall with plenty of picture frames? This is “The Family” by Bengtsson. Asked what inspired her, Lisa answers that her own memories and nostalgia. And I believe her. This dressy wallpaper can be filled with our own pictures and create personal statement of memories: visited places, met people etc.

“Svärmor”
It is her second big, and achromatic as well, pattern. It presents shoes: high- hills, boots, trainers, sandals etc which Lisa obviously finds special. In her opinion they tell us the story of our lives. All are shown from a variety of angles and always individually. As a big fun of shoes I think this particular wall paper is a masterpiece and deserves to decorate walls of big-city-girl’s apartments, not just in Sweden!
