The Vårklockor Wallpaper
In Josef Frank’s Vårklockor (Spring Bells) wallpaper, leaves and flowers are depicted in a uniform scale, reminiscent of a garden bed in bloom. Across the horizontal rows grow several of our most beloved spring flowers—tulips, crocuses, coltsfoot, and forget-me-nots.
– Josef Frank“Bright colours and powerful patterns can take away the feeling of confinement.
Even a pokey little cubicle can become exciting with striking wallpaper.”
Josef Frank's Wallpaper
Josef Frank always designed different kinds of prints for specific purposes. He never used fabric patterns for wallpapers or wallpaper patterns for fabrics, but made sure that each pattern had a unique use.
Josef Frank“The monochromatic surface appears uneasy, while prints are calming, and the observer is unwillingly influenced by an underlying slow approach.”
Printing Josef Frank’s Wallpaper
For nearly 170 years, contemporary wallpapers have been produced by the Åsunden lake in Västergötland, Sweden. In Ulricehamn’s Wallpaper Factory, employees work to preserve artisanal traditions to bring that heritage into the future.
