Sanna Annukka
In the small rural Wisconsin town I grew up in the majority of the residents were of Scandinavian descent, specifically Norwegian, so when I saw Finnish Illustrator Sanna Annukka's work for the first time it brought me right back to my childhood. Inspired by the traditional Scandinavian folk style, Sanna's illustrations have such a timelessness to them but with a modern twist. Her prints are wonderful but I'm especially partial to the house ware line she did with Marimekko, I can just picture the dining room table decked in her designs, laden with a christmas feast of lefse, lutefisk and krumkake (you know your norwegian if you recognize these foods).

God, I love that studio shot of the bolts of fabric! You know that for several years now Crate & BArrel has used these gorgeous Marrimeko fabric panels in the stores as decoration, but they DON'T sell the same prints in table linens or anything? Go figure. I told them they were crazy and that I wanted to buy the hangings, but they didn't listen to me.
ReplyDeleteI did find some Marimekko items online at Crate & Barrel, maybe they just don't sell them in the store. They even have the above Table cloth but in a different color combination check it out here: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/search.aspx?query=Taikamylly
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving these bed linens: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/bed-and-bath/all-decorative-bedding/marimekko-kantele-bed-linens/f38690
Sanna Annukka is a favorite of mine, too.
