Now that our lovely Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson has moved from up-and-coming to established, I think it's time for a revisit, and a little advice from our own in-house designers on how to best introduce her patterns into your home.
In February 2010, we were very happy to welcome her two designs, Baronessa and Sir Harald, into our designer range of slipcovers at Bemz.
Lisa Bengtsson, born in 1981 in the tiny town of Gnosjö (pop. <5,000!), graduated from the prestigious Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm in 2007 with a degree in graphic design. Being on the receiving end of several distinguished awards, including the 2008 Rising Star of the Year from Swedish design mag ELLE Interior, helped her meteoric journey into the limelight.
Lisa takes inspiration for her designs mostly from storytelling about individuals and how they lived their lives but also from friends and family. Read more about Lisa Bengtsson and her designs here.
And what about those fabrics? The dreamy oversized blooms of Baronessa are reminiscent of an English manor garden with its breathtaking flowerbeds, leaving us feeling all romantic and drunk on spring. That said however, you may feel that these larger-than-life patterns are not for the faint hearted but you'd be surprised how well they work, especially when paired with ideal mates.
According to our talented in-house designers, pairing Baronessa - Pink with Candy Pink, accentuated further by throwing trendy Daiquiri Green into the mix will give you vibrant, playful and contemporary look.
For a slightly more subtle effect, couple Baronessa - Green with other greens, such as the lovely, textured Tegnér Melange Bamboo Green.
You couldn't be more on trend with the patchwork look of Sir Harald - Multi. This modern take of a nostalgic era was actually inspired by Lisa’s ancestors. The pattern is as multi-faceted as the name suggests which allows it many possible matches. Our designers' favorite? Fuchsia to pick up the pink and purple tones.
Like what you see? Act fast: right now you can get 10% off any Lisa Bengtsson slipcover until May 2nd.
