1. The Swimmers

The Swimmers is probably my most recognizable—and best-selling—pattern. It originally started as a sketch for a linocut print, but I quickly saw its potential as a repeating design. I began with just two swimmer figures and spent a lot of time arranging them into a balanced, decorative layout.

Over time, the pattern evolved. Today, it exists in two main variations: a classic red-and-blue combination, and a bold, almost monochrome version in bright red. There were a few iterations in between, but I realized the design worked best with a balance of three colors—one main, one accent, and one neutral.

This pattern has become something of a signature for my shop. I use it as my market banner, and I even created a standalone illustration based on it!

2. Scandinavia

Scandinavia is my tribute to life in the north of Denmark. I never imagined myself living in a small town here, but the Scandinavian cityscape has truly grown on me. Aalborg’s old town—with its red brick buildings, figured spires, narrow streets, and rooftops forming patterns when seen from above—feels both grounded and fairytale-like, and it continues to inspire my work.

This design began as a watercolor painting. At first, I hadn’t intended it for a scarf, but I was drawn to the rhythm of the shapes and the warmth of terracotta orange. Scandinavia became one of the very first scarves I produced. It has gone through a few iterations: a close-up version featuring a fragment of the watercolor, and a refined update that features a repeated pattern. The current edition carries a crisp blue edge that frames the design beautifully.

3. Ramen

Ramen pattern is about my love for all things Japanese and linocut printing. It began as a large lino print, and now it’s one of my most popular designs online. I love it so much that I even keep it in my own collection.

What makes this pattern special to me is the rhythm of the carved strokes and the depth of the Ultramarine ink by Winsor & Newton that I used for the original artwork. The bold, vibrant color carries the energy of the hand-printed texture, giving the design a unique character. In 2025, the Ramen scarf will be released in a large 90cm version with a hand-rolled edge—adding a touch of craftsmanship and making it feel even more distinctive.

4. Flower Power

Flower Power is another nod to my linocut period, combined with my continuous admiration for Japanese art and aesthetics. The print features a single large chrysanthemum—its only subject and the centerpiece of the composition.

The sweeping petals create a strong visual rhythm, while the deep purple color gives the design a slightly formal, almost ceremonial feel. It’s probably one of my most composed and “put-together” motifs, with a quiet strength that I really love.

The first edition of Flower Power was printed on silk habotai, which gave it a soft, delicate drape. In the future, I’d love to explore printing it on silk twill to bring out even more structure and definition in the pattern.
