OLLE EKSELL x IKEA

Oh my gosh! Have you guys seen this collection of products yet? This collab series is better known as the Önskedröm Collection, made in celebration of Swedish iconic graphic designer – Olle Eksell. We love Olle! We actually stumbled upon this collab series by chance one day at Ikea and bought one of the fabric designed by Olle! Unfortunately Ikea Singapore only carries limited pieces instead of the full range, we would love to have the Olle Eksell book to add on to our collection, but alas!

“This new collection is the result of a dream collaboration with one of Sweden’s most prominent graphic designers - Olle Eksell (1918-2007). He designed an iconic logo for a famous Swedish brand of cacao in 1956, drew hundreds of book covers, posters and fabric patterns, and wrote books on design. We feel proud to be able to bring his playful spirit and charming illustrations on products that many people use every day“

Marcus Engman (Design Manager of Ikea Sweden) said that “Our hope is that some of Olle’s happiness will rub off on everyone’s everyday life. – It definitely worked for us!!
