ART IN DESIGN
To spread my art and my poetic nature message, even more, I started in 2007 to use my art, prints and drawings for license projects.
I began to collaborate with an agency in Tokyo, Rom Project. We founded the brand THE INNER LANGUAGE OF NATURE to produce nature-inspired products for Japanese companies. (HARIO glass, EDWIN cloths, GREENFLASH stationary, SATO Ceramics)
Then followed my textile collections for DHS/Hemtex in 2012/2013...
LICENSED PROJECTS JAPAN
THE INNER LANGUAGE OF NATURE is the brand and a whole concept I created together with my Japanese agency Rom Project in Tokyo with start in 2007. I try to transmit the inner energy in nature with my motifs using authentic, natural images. In parallel with the licenced products, I had two art exhibitions in Tokyo at Sembikiya Gallery and a summer installation at Wise Wise in Omotesando. To launch the products, a presentation with a mix of artworks and licenced products were shown at the Seibu department store.

LICENSED PROJECTS
DHS/HEMTEX SWEDEN
I created a TEXTILE COLLECTION for DHS/Hemtex in 2014/2013. It was a fantastic project! I handprinted the motifs in my studio, and the old high-quality Swedish factory Rydboholm printed them after my models. Our idea was to create a NATURAL COLLECTION, to let us feel more, and feel good in a natural way in contact with authentic motifs.
I used fragments from my father's poems in almost all patterns to give more poetry to our daily life...

DIGITAL PRINT
Today more and more digital printing takes over and gives a lot of new possibilities. I did for TERRE DE PASTEL one silk/cotton scarf with different drawn pastel flowers. For DHS we did a cushion from one of the paintings and for Edwin in Japan they used my motifs for their collection.
Here is a lot that could be done! See more
In 2010 I did decide to put two of my handmade patterns, inspired by the temporary beauty of WABI/SABI into production at the RYDBOHOLMS TEXTILFACTORY in Sweden. It was fascinating to follow the production at the old factory.
LIMELEAFS AND BRANCHES were then reproduced at DHS/Hemtex with a little more brownish colours.
It is a quiet Japanese pattern - very peaceful. I sell it in lengths or as products like table runners, tablecloths or cushions. It is made of high-quality linen fabric. The two grey colours create a depth in the pattern. See my SHOP ONLINE
