NK COLLECTION
for Nordiska Kompaniet



Together with Clara von Zweigbergk and Anagency, we designed NK’s first private label, NK COLLECTION. From going through their archives and give pattern a new life to creating the brand identity with products varying from leather goods, accessories, beauty, clothing and more...
The first launch was on May 2024 and the rest will follow.
I have participated in the design of each product and their development. This is the biggest project I have been a part of, from thoughts to shelf!

A collection of four caps design with Clara von Zweigbergk. Each cap has a stretchy band in a matching color for a comfy fit and a bit of style. Two of the caps have cute red lips that were crocheted by me and hand-sewn in our studio.

Raffia LAB
for Prada

Under the curation of Studio Blanco, Raffia LAB is a material based initiative, designed to spotlight Prada's Raffia Bags.
Focusing on artisanal craftsmanship,
I assisted Clara von Zweigbergk in the creation of four woven bookmarks, utilizing Prada's Raffia. These bookmarks were then crafted live within select Prada boutiques worldwide, offering a glimpse into the meticulous artistry behind the brand's creations. (2023)
