Ofelia textiles for IKEA


I come from the east coast of Denmark. It was here, at the shores of Snekkersten, I found inspiration when designing my part of the OFELIA collection. Nature is shaped slowly and continuously, and still it's fragile.
Like the waves - so relentless, yet fleeting. The materials and the design of the collection have its roots in the Nordic light, the sand on the beach, the waves, the driftwood and the plants. In a world that goes faster day by day, I hope this collection will bring a sense of thoughtfulness and serenity to your home.

I create the Ofelia textiles to please and satisfy your eyes and senses, mind and body.
I believe it’s important – necessary almost – to be surrounded with beatiful and plesant things that exites us. Beauty is a given, but so is relevance and understanding – or else the design won’t have any real meaning to the user.


Ofelia Cushions

a boat in "Snekkersten havn" was inspiration for one of the cushions

a close up....

and finally all the cushions.

This is how the water make patterns in the sand.

-and this is how i use the patterns for a soft cushion.

 

Ofelia Curtains

The inspiration is from my garden.

One of the Ofelia Curtains as it is.

Ofelia Quilt Covers

Ofelia Vass + Ofelia blanket

This is Snekkersten Havn.

And here is some broken poles

Look closer, they are full of small creatures called ruer.

I try to create a quilt cover design with the marks after the ruer.

Here is frosen waterflakes on the beach in wintertime

And the quilt cover called "Ofeila Tang".

Ofelia Blankets

This is like the water moving in the harbor.

And this is how the blanket moves.
