William Morris was an influential designer and poet from Victorian England. His patterns are known for their nature-inspired motifs, intricate detailing, and flowing forms. Morris drew inspiration from the English countryside, and each pattern is characterized by recurring themes from nature.

By weaving Morris's patterns, we at Ekelund embrace a part of the English tradition and combine it with our Swedish heritage. We create a bridge between the past and the future, and between the English and Swedish landscapes.

Just like Morris, we share the vision of creating designs that not only reflect our time but endure through the centuries, ensuring that each product is as relevant today as it was when first created.

SUMMER is a floral and colorful tribute to the Swedish summer, with its bright, long nights and the magic of midsummer. The patterns are filled with floral splendor reminiscent of summer meadows and the verdant landscapes that are Sweden during the brightest months of the year. Each design is created to capture the feeling of freedom and joy of summer, where the colors and shapes of nature are brought to life on the textiles.

SUMMER is the perfect collection to create an inviting and festive atmosphere for all summer occasions, from Midsummer Eve to garden parties and barbecue evenings. The collection spreads a feeling of lightness and harmony that lifts all the rooms and table settings of the home, and that reminds us of the best of the Swedish summer – the community, the light and the wonderful flowering of nature.

SPRING is a vibrant tribute to our most beautiful season. With lively, floral patterns, this collection brings hope and joy—a reminder of nature’s rebirth and the colors that adorn the landscape at this time of year. Through our love of color and shape, each design is crafted to capture this very feeling.

The collection highlights the light of spring and is the perfect complement to seasonal celebrations, where each table setting creates an inviting and blossoming ambiance that spreads throughout the home.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who lived in the early 20th century. She is well known for her self-portraits in which her characteristic knitted eyebrows are always present.
Born in 1907 in Mexico City, Kahlo began painting as a form of therapy after a serious accident that caused damage to her spine and uterus.

Our collection is inspired by Frida Kahlo, she was a strong woman who dared to stand
up for herself and go her own way, which is the inspiration for our design collection Ekelund x Frida Kahlo.

Stig Lindberg was one of Sweden’s most important postwar desinger.His strength lies in his ability to create designs that are beautiful,functional, and full of character and joy. He wasn’t afraid to playwith color and form, bringing a sense of creativity and fun toeverything he did.Stig made his mark on the international design scene with anexhibition in New York in 1957. In 1959, he gained recognition inJapan through an exhibition at the SEIBU department store andhas been celebrated ever since, both in Europe and beyond.

Some patterns suit us better than others. Choosing the right pattern is aboutcombining culture, function, and aesthetics to create a product that feels bothbeautiful and practical in everyday life. Stig Lindberg once said that he created objects that are functional while also bringing joy through their beauty. And we at Ekelund couldn't agree more.
