]]> The pattern of stylised flowers in straight lines was composed in the mid-1930s and was first block-printed by Elsa Gullberg. Carl Malmsten used the fabric for his interiors, for example at the Swedish Institute in Rome and the Supreme Court in Stockholm. The pattern was later developed for wallpaper and is today printed as an exclusive edition by Handtryckta tapeter Långholmen.

]]> The pattern with birds and flowers was one Carl Malmsten’s first designs. He made it for the Home Exhibition 1917 at Liljevalchs art museum, which opened the same year. The exhibition was organised by the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design and had a clearly stated social agenda. There was a campaign for simplicity in furnishings and a Swedish style – also when it came to wallpaper patterns. The organisers had estimated that around 8,000 people would come to the exhibition, but during the two months that it was showing no less than 40,000 people turned up. However, the working classes, which they had hoped to attract, were conspicuous by their absence. Instead, the “every day products” shown at the exhibition became a new fashion for the better off.
The wallpaper was originally made at Kåbergs wallpaper factory. Today, it is printed with a 100-year-old collagraph machine at Lim & Handtryck.

]]> Over the years, Carl Malmsten made quite a few wallpaper designs. Colourful sketches of this design are found in CM’s archive. Malmsten called this pattern Korsblomma and it was available both as wallpaper and fabric. Korsblomma, also called Passion flower, was nominated “Plant of the Month” by the magazine Husmodern’s flower club in 1941. Was it this that inspired Carl Malmsten’s design, or was the pattern just a play on words (cross flower)? Anyhow, the exotic plant was popular in functionalist environments, and the rounded corners of the pattern is an example of a design language that Malmsten came to develop and strongly advocate: “Break all edges thoroughly”. He simply believed that furniture and forms with rounded corners are kinder to the touch and to the eye.

The patterns Tussilago, Fågel blå and Korsblomma are printed by Lim & Handtryck’s Färg & Tapetmakeri using the same handicraft skills and types of material as when they were first printed in 1917 and in the 1940s (roller printing on paper with distemper shaded with iron oxides and earth pigment). The wallpapers are wipeable.

]]> The pattern Tussilago was first printed for the Home Exhibition at Liljevalchs art gallery in 1917. Carl Malmsten had been invited to design several rooms with furniture, lighting, wallpaper, etc. The aim of the exhibition was to create “more beautiful things for everyday use”. All of Malmsten’s wallpaper designs made for the exhibition (Tussilago, Fågel Blå and Storslingan) are seemingly inspired by 18th century cotton print patterns and were printed in light pastel colours. An amusing anecdote is that Carl Malmsten during an interview, revealed that his copy of Carl Larsson’s book “Ett Hem” was completely worn out. In the book, Carl Larsson writes tenderly about dandelions, and what could be more suitable for an admirer like Malmsten to name one of his patterns after the slightly smaller and humbler Tussilago (Colt’s foot).

The patterns Tussilago, Fågel Blå and Korsblomma are printed by Lim & Handtryck’s Färg & Tapetmakeri using the same handicraft skills and types of material as when they were first printed in 1917 and in the 1940s (roller printing on paper with distemper shaded with iron oxides and earth pigment).
