En tapetsaga - en tapetkollektion med metoden som berättande verktyg

Abstract

A wallpaper story is a project aiming to raise the value of artistic presence in pattern products. The result is a wallpaper collection consisting of four different patterns, where each pattern comes in a variety of colour schemes. The goal has been to create a wallpaper collection where the patterns, colour schemes and production process interplay, and where all of these components are equally important. The wallpaper shall suggest a careful balance in harmony regarding pattern repeats, colour schemes and compositions. It shall speak of artistic presence both in general and in detail. The purpose is to make beholders and consumers aware of the value of careful design. William Morris was a pattern artist that, although dead since over a hundred years, still strongly lives through his pattern creations. His work has a high level of artistic presence and a feeling of craftsmanship which reminds us of the work of the hand, and of the importance of genuine materials. The work of William Morris is a tremendous source of inspiration for contemporary design.
