Gudrun Sjoeden is a designer from Sweden i like.
She has a unique style, inspired by classic folk art from the Sweden. But what i love most is her special use of colors. Somehow she manages to have a palette of colors you see nowhere else, bold and soothing at the same time, and with interesting and sometimes daring combinations.
These pictures appealed to me today, because of the atmosphere of calm, quiet but cosy, which is just what i seem to need right now. And: i WANT that chair in the first picture. Isn't it gorgeous?
Gudrun also does fashion which is lovely to look at. Also, she has all her things made in an eco-friendly, green way. See more of here things here!

ReplyDeleteYou know, I just ADORE Swedish design. I like their sense of simplicity and straight lines. It reminds me a bit of a clean French Country...not an AMERICANIZED version, but the true thing. WHite, organic elements (burlap, wool, linen) and TOYS!!! A toy here or there makes it comfortable and breaks up any sense of pretension. I barely got here from a long day at work!!! HAVE A SPLENDID WEEK MY FRIEND! Anita
beautiful color combinations :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Martina,
ReplyDeleteAnita and I love Swedish style which we see a lot of here in the Midwestern United States. I love the Swedish style home architecture and folk art. And of course who could survive without the local Swedish bakery? Lovely post.
I always so enjoy your visits and comments on Rattus Scribus. Thank you for your encouragement about making stories like my recent post into an actual book. That is our dream. Thoughtful stories with a twist.
Have a beautiful day.

Ah, you have done it again!;-)
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to the first and last images without knowing why. I lived in Sweden for two years during my education - I suppose that's why the images appeal to me, moreover, I am very fond of Swedish and Danish art forms. Warmly hopes you are well, my dear!
I love Scandinavian designers...I adore they clean and useful designs.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend dear Martina, cheers: Evi
