Lovis & Lilla Madicken

Lovis & Lilla Madicken

Lovis & Lilla Madicken refines the nostalgic charm of stories & series from Astrid Lindgren's universe into a smaller, more delicate floral repeat. The finer scale emphasizes a classic rhythm, with linen-like texture and subtle surface rolling that evoke early 20th-century Swedish craftsmanship. The reduced motif size makes this pattern particularly elegant in more intimate rooms and traditional settings.

The texture recalls the finely woven qualities of linen, with delicate irregularities that give a handcrafted presence. By simulating traditional surface rolling, the wallpaper gains a refined depth that enhances its smaller floral motifs, making them appear both crisp and soft at once.

Gustav, Jan & Astrid

With Gustav, Jan & Astrid, we revisit a distinctly Swedish design tradition—where gustavian ornament, folkloric elements, and stencil printing coexisted across both class and countryside. From manor house parlours to rural cabins, walls carried a visual language shaped by repetition, handcraft, and subtle variation.

We take our starting point in gustaviansk simplicity—the restrained Swedish neoclassicism of the late 18th century—but allow it to dissolve gently into folk memory. Think Madicken’s bedroom wallpaper, or something glimpsed in a hallway in Bullerbyn. Each pattern carries traces of nobility—and of how that nobility was interpreted by the common hand.

What binds the collection together is our use of stencil logic—but with a Linlava intervention: variation i varje våd. Each form is repeated, but never identical.

We treat the stencil not as an end, but as a starting point.

We ask: what if each ornament were applied again and again by hand, with shifts in angle, paint load, or even interpretation?

At Linlava, we’re not imitating tradition—we’re extending it. Through layered textures, imperfect repetition, and historically grounded forms, Gustav, Jan & Astrid becomes a study in how memory, hand, and ornament can shape a new kind of room.
