Let me present to you: ‘LOVE CONNECTION’

Let me present to you: ‘LOVE CONNECTION’

February 8, 2012 in Design Blog, Furniture, In the Spotlight, Love Connection, My Designs - Leave a reply

Finallly I get to present my piece of furniture to the world, the ‘Love Connection’!
Yesterday it was official at Stockholm Furniture Fair.

Here’s the producer Green Furniture Sweden’s words;

It started with a Love Seat idea – connected armchairs facing each other.
And while connecting, why not connect many (a lot of Love!). And if making
the armchairs from several smaller ‘pieces of pie’, different sizes armchairs
can be made and connecting them can make a winding creation of Love.
Adding straight pieces shapes a sofa and the Love is complete!
Upholstered on a wooden frame with horse hair/natural rubber topped with
wool felt and eco labelled fabrics.

   

The fair is on for the whole week. Do come and have a love connection with us! :P

The other day I was interviewed by the design blog Formrepubliken. Which is by the way one of Swedens most inspiriational blogs when it comes to design. And I must add – a favorite of mine. So it made my day when I got contacted by Peter Aderstedt, the man behind the site.

Topographic fruit bowl

November 16, 2011 in Design Blog, My Designs, Product Design - Leave a reply

Found this online the other day. A fruit bowl I designed a couple of years ago for a company that wanted a different kind of give away. Which is inspired by their business. They work with measuring landscapes for constructions … so in short it’s a topographic map formed as a fruit bowl!

Marcus hallway

October 31, 2011 in Design Blog, Fans, Interior Design, Wallpapers/Patterns - 20 comments

Here’s a taste of how nice my wallpaper ‘Coathangers’ can look in a hallway. I think it’s really cool that he dared to go with the negative design (light color on dark background).

Love the black and white look – amazing job Marcus! Thanks for the picture. Only one thing missing now … some colorfull shoes in the rack!

P.S.
You can order ‘Coathangers’ through the Designshop.
If you have any requests about your own color settings – we can probably fix that, I know the designer pretty well. :P

The other day on TV was the new show 4 stjärnors middag (4 Star Dinner), in this episode they visited Fredrick Federley. He made a classic swedish dish called Isterband (which I thought was very daring but cool – I love it). But the most cool thing is that you could see my designs; The dining table with my Blue Print-pattern (green/white) and Pride Romance wallpaper (pink/black) in the bedroom. Looks great in your flat, Fredrick!

Why not design edibles!?

May 28, 2011 in Design Blog, iBlog, My Designs - 9 comments


Lately I’ve been cooking and baking quite alot!
Especially baking isn’t really something I usually do … but since we have a one year old it’ll be atleast one more time every year.

Anyhow. I always try to find the aestetichs in everything I do. If it is my twisted mind or just some obsessive behaviour – I will leave unsaid. I’d like to think it’s a inspiring challenge, though I consider myself a boarderless designer.
So why not put that extra touch in the food I cook and cakes bake!

Nils Möbler + Konceptuella möbler

Nils Möbler + Konceptuella möbler

January 5, 2011 in CROP Carpets Collection, Design Blog, In the Spotlight, My Designs - 16 comments

Två profiler inom den moderna möbelformgivningen kommer från Västernorrland. Båda två heter de Nils. Den världsberömde Nisse Strinning är en av dem. Grundaren av Europamöbler, inredaren Nils Lindholm, den andre.

Möbeltillverkning och kända storsnickare har en lång historia i länet. Både hantverksskicklighet och formkänsla ger sig till känna i länsmuseets samlingar. Den produktion som bär Nisse Strinning och Nils Lindholms märke hör hemma i en modernistisk tradition från 1950-, 60- och 70-tal. De bildar en bro mot samtiden och framtiden.

Det fjärde tillägget i utställningen Nils möbler+ visar formgivning där designern tänker utanför ramarna och utvecklar koncept som inte är begränsade av dagens teknik och material. Samtliga möbler som visas i utställningen är formgivna av designers som finns i eller har anknytning till länet. Peter Mäkelä är en av dessa möbelvisionärer.

Peter Mäkelä kommer att ställa ut en digital visualisering på den prisbelönta konceptstolen Angel Chair och en av mattorna, Golden Ball, från CROP Carpets Collection samt ett par nytänkande tapetmönster.

Utställningen har premiär den 11 januari 2011.

(2010-10-07)

Welcome to my collection of wallpapers and patterns. I get alot of questions about all my patterns and especially how to order them. Mainly my wallpapers and patterns are used by interior designers and architects. So they can appear non existing.

My vision is that all my designs are available to everyone. Here’s a short presentation of the patterns, my thoughts and how to go about to get them. Hope you like what you see.

QUALITY
All wallpapers are non woven; which means that they are seamless and are mounted edge to edge. The wallpapers are durable, strong and has a high opacity. They are also easy to wipe. All the patterns are digitally printed. When it’s time to remount, there is no need for joint sanding and use of filler. Just put the new one on top of the old. Hopefully you’ll find my patterns timeless and will enjoy them for a long time.

NOT JUST WALLPAPERS
Some patterns are even available on products, as; reversable table tops, splashbacks (kitchen), tray tables, chairs, trays, coasters …
See each specification for details.

All patterns come in a broad variety of colour settings. Is there a specific colour combination you’re looking for don’t hesitat to ask us. We’re more than happy to help.

Wedding rings designed by Love

Wedding rings designed by Love

October 8, 2010 in Bröllopet, Design Blog, In the Spotlight, My Designs - 17 comments

I’ve always dreamt of designing jewelry … so when I got married I just had to design my first ring to my loving wife!

Here’s the story behind the story
It’s not easy designing something for that person that means the world to you. Especially a wedding ring! She’s going to wear that piece for the rest of our lives … and you certainly don’t want to eat it up for the reeest of our lives *I’m almost starting to sweat again, like I did when I came up with the idea* But no guts, no glory, right!?

I like working with sublime symbolism in my creations. And when it comes to love it’s always very cliché. So my mind started thinking about us in terms of numbers. My number has always been 7 and my spouse’s 21. The tricky part was how to interact it in our rings – in a non tacky way. So I came up with this riddle;

7+21=2∞

(P+A= WE 2 FOREVER)
So what was I going to do with it!?

My typface has always been Futura (it’s very clean and timeless and has a nice touch of retro feel to it), so I started sketching with the number 7 in that specific typface. I came up with the idea that the three 7s should hold the diamond. In a protective kind of grip. And multiplied together they become 21. Problem solved! My wife came up with the splendid idea that I should have 7 small stones on the side of my ring. First I was kind of sceptic to it, though I’ve never been very fond of diamonds for my self. But the more I thought about it I thought it was … brilliant! Problem two solved. What a teamwork! *This marriage is off to a good start* So all I had to do now was to finalize my sketches and find a goldsmith that believes in the idea. And I did. See picture documentation of the process below.

Step by step:




So, what’s your verdict?

Special thank you to Håkan at Ateljé 15, Norrköping. For your great patience and craftmanship.

In memory of daddy-tattoo

In memory of daddy-tattoo

October 5, 2010 in Design Blog, Graphic Design, In the Spotlight, My Designs - 8 comments

Once in awhile I get a request that my soft heart can’t say no to … and of course not charge for either.
Passing of a father must be one of the toughest things a child can go through. And to honour that special bond with something everlasting – it should be made out of respect, care and beauty.
Hope this simple gesture will inspire you along Your path through life.

My thoughts …
In my illustration I’ve tried to captivate the essence of their relationship and other important symbolism, like:
– Eternal love/bond
– Sorrow and happiness
– Recovery and regrowth
– Darkness and hope

Still try to keep a maskuline look, with a tad of feminine touch. That’s the way I see the future man. A man who’s naturally manly but yet not afraid of showing he’s feminine side.

P.S.
The picture above is just a photo montage – where the final placing of the tattoo will be is under discussion.

At home with Fredrick Federley (article)

At home with Fredrick Federley (article)

September 24, 2010 in Design Blog, Furniture, In the Spotlight, Media, My Designs, Pride Collection, Wallpapers/Patterns - 12 comments

In todays Expressens Extra you can read about a nice At Home with-article at the wellknown politician Fredrick Federley. Most fun is that you can see my creations in the newly decorated home, like my wallpaper Pride Romance and table Blue Print.

“Cozy. The wallpaper ‘Pride Romance’ in the bedroom is one of Fredrick Federleys favourites in his flat”

“You can find alot of Fredricks personality in the interior. He chose the wallpaper in his bedroom ‘Pride Romance’ from the ‘Pride Collection’. If you look closely you’ll see it’s really dirty, he says with a big smile and tells us about when he told his mother about it she nearly flipped when she saw the details.”

Fredrick also has a large dinner table with the pattern ‘Blue Print’, in happy “Center party-green”. The pattern is exactly what it’s called a blue print – but over my old flat, and my neighbours!

You can buy both of my designs, ‘Pride Romance’ and ‘Blue Print’ through my producer Design M (Designmäklarna).

A kick ass outfit

August 31, 2010 in Design Blog, My Designs - 3 comments

Wouldn’t it be cool to dress your kid up as Bruce Lee!? I know you boys out there know what I’m talking about! I don’t know if it’s because my son is starting to make a lot of weird faces and arm movements like a character in a Kung Fu movie, that made me think of this old baby outfit I drew some time ago … It would be a kick ass outfit, though.

“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”

Have you ever caught your children eating candy behind your back? Or watched them make funny faces to each other? The pattern ‘Ear Candy’ is about the clown within, the little villain testing the boundaries, that cute little thing growing up way too fast – but will always be that little someone you will love more than life itself.

My first table!

April 11, 2010 in Design Blog, Furniture, My Designs - Leave a reply

Her she is. My first produced table. I call it ‘La Table’ – since it’s made out of laminate, HPL (high pressure laminate) to be exact, and to give at more sophisticated touch. In short you could say it’s an out door  modern french coffee table. It’s supposed to come out in three different sizes; Livingroom table, Coffee table and Bar table. It’s made out of three pieces so it’s easy to ship and handle. And made out of 100% raw paper, so the black color is natural. A cool detail is that the table board is reversable and you can choose between a various selection of different graphic designed patterns.

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010 was a great success. It’s hard to sum up the whole amazing week in short. It was so jam packed with exciting meetings, introductions and releases … But I can for sure say that the most fun of it all are all the new and interesting co-operations with aware and openminded producers. That believe in me and my far out ideas! So keep your eyes open soon you’ll see a number of my collections on the market. First out is CROP Carpets Collection for A-Carpet. After that Pride Collection for Design M. And more to come …

Things I will remember for a long time are; The CROP Carpet and green design chat with Maud OlofssonAndrea Ruggieros kind words. The walk about with deputy primeminister, Olle Melkerhed Not-loosing his camera. The release party of Design M’s showroom. And of course all the wonderful visitors and collegues.

Thank you all for your wonderfull support! See you next year.

Då ritade jag denna illustration som fick visualisera deras gränslöshet; Golden Gatebron integrerad med Höga Kustenbron.
Mycket uppskattad blev den.

Blue Print – table

Blue Print – table

November 13, 2009 in Design Blog, Furniture, My Designs, Wallpapers/Patterns - 10 comments

Here’s interesting table solution – specially for you who likes variation. This table has a reversable solution. Which meens in short that you can have a more far out pattern och one side and a more allround sober one on the other. Cool huh. Here you can se my pattern Blue Print. It’s inspired by my apartment I had when I lived in the historic building Hirschka Huset, in Sundsvall. If you look really close you can even see how it was furnished. I hade some quite famous neighbours as well. But in there flat I just made up how it could look like. But ours is authentic. After drawing our and the neighbours places it took the blue print and rotated it and created this repetitive pattern you can see above.

This pattern is also avaliable as a wallpaper. Orders through the producer Design M.

The below pictures are from Ciao Umeå event last year. You can see my table board on top of a stand from the cool danish HAY. The picture to the right are just samples of the pattern in different colours, from the factory.

P.S.
Fun info. The politician Fredrick Federley has bought a table just like the green one above. Wonder why he chose a green one? Could it be because he represent the party Centerpartiet … ;)

Se HAWCs logotyp i Stieg Larsson filmerna

September 18, 2009 in Design Blog, My Designs, Paizano Design - Leave a reply

Är du en sån som tycker om att titta på eftertexterna efter en bra film? Kolla då in logotyperna på slutet i Stieg Larssons “Flickan som lekte med elden” …
Där finner du logotypen HAWC-Systems som VI formgivit. Filmen är redigerad i deras nytänkande redigeringssystem. Kul tycker vi; att HAWC är så nytänkande och att de anlitar en likasinnad designbyrå!

LaGaylia material till Körslaget

November 7, 2008 in Design Blog, My Designs, Paizano Design - 6 comments

I veckan har vi tagit fram promotion-material till LaGaylias Audition för TV-programmet Körslaget. Kul!
På annandag jul 2008 har den andra säsongen av Körslaget premiär och Sundsvall ställer upp med sitt svar på “Gloria Gaynor” dvs LaGaylia Frazier! Vi på Paizano fick göra det roliga jobbet att formge materialet, tillsammans med Sweet Williams. De härliga fotona är tagna av Olle Melkerhed. *som förövrigt ska ställa ut i Paizano Expo inom kort!*

Gå med i Facebook-gruppen: “Team LaGaylia ska vinna!”

Sundsvall har fått en skyline

May 4, 2008 in Design Blog, Graphic Design, My Designs - Leave a reply

Vi ritade en skyline över Sundsvall i ett uppdrag till Sundsvalls kommun. De blev så förtjusta i den så nu vill de använda den illustrationen exklusivt för att marknadsföra staden.
Den har t ex hamnat på de upplysta välkomstskyltarna längs E4:an. Kul tycker vi.

Eniro/Ericsson har investerat en BizArt™

October 20, 2007 in Design Blog, Graphic Design, My Designs - 7 comments

I passagen mellan Eniro och Ericssons Sundsvallskontor sitter det numera en trevlig BizArt-kreation som går under namnet Connections.
Tavlan är ljussatt med LED-belysning och ger ett spännande intryck i deras tråkiga entrépassage. Vi har redan fått flera förfrågningar…

Är Ni också intresserad av en egen BizArt på er arbetsplats?

Kasino-trofén levererad

October 11, 2007 in Design Blog, My Designs - Leave a reply

Äntligen Casino Cosmopols trofédrakar kommit! Så nu har de snygga priser att dela ut …
Trofén är en utveckling på kasinots På Stan-drakar. Så det är alltså en avbild av ‘Allan Ballan’, men på troféerna gör han pokergesten “Well Played”, som en final touch. Så nu är det bara anmäla sig till diverse pokerturneringar på Casino Cosmopol och försöka spela hem den! Lycka till!

BizArt™ till Delicerano

August 4, 2007 in Design Blog, Graphic Design, My Designs - 11 comments

I veckan monterades ett BizArt-verk upp på det nyöppnade italienska caféet och delit Delicerano. Det grafiska verket kallar vi ‘Italian Coffee Stains’ – Besök gärna Delicerano på Sjögatan! Deras färskpasta är outstanding. Glöm inte att slänga ett öga på tavlan. ;)

Nordekens kontor klart!

July 1, 2007 in Design Blog, Interior Design, My Designs - Leave a reply

Då var det äntligen kontorer färdig inrett och klart. Vi och Nordeken är mycket nöjda med resultatet. Deras nya kontor hittar ni på Esplanaden 25, vid SF. Är ni nyfikna så är det bara att hälsa på. De bjuder säkert på gott kaffe från nyinköpta kaffemaskinen.

Delicerano profilering

May 31, 2007 in Design Blog, Graphic Design, My Designs - Leave a reply

Logotyp i tre varianter. Retrokänsla. Symbolen skulle kunna föreställa en person som sträcker ut armen och serverar något, men även salami som rullas in i papper.
Arbetskläderna i svart med div röda och vita detaljer. Sobert, seriöst och elegant.

 

Bless you!
