Feathr & Johanna Gullichsen to collaborate for debut wallcoverings

Johanna Gullichsen established in 1989, is a textile brand which specialises in honest design and modern interpretation of Scandinavian textile traditions. The Finnish brand is presenting an exciting new collection in collaboration with a wallpaper company Feathr. Two Johanna Gullichsen designs -Nereus and Raita- will be available for the first time as wallpapers in a wide spectrum of stunning classic and contemporary colours.

The new collection is a direct interpretation of Johanna Gullichsen's distinctive design style. "Handweaving with the loom is my inspiration for exploring techniques and patterns. That's how most of my designs are born. Craft is a living design tool for me, always included in the narrative of my textiles, so I’m delighted to see how flawlessly my designs have transposed from textiles to wallcoverings,” says Gullichsen.

“Our whole ethos is about bringing incredible creative talent into wallpaper design: Johanna is a Finnish design legend, so we are very excited to be collaborating with her. Her designs look stunning as wallcoverings, and we’re thrilled to be helping to introduce her designs to a whole new audience,” says Tom Puukko, Founder of Feathr. The two wallpapers are uniquely designed to be used both individually as well as side by side, with complementary design characteristics and color schemes. Both designs come in a wide range of matching colours including classic pearl, alabaster, rich ochre, along with hues of blue.

Johanna Gullichsen, born in Somero, Finland studied art history, literature and languages at the University of Helsinki before starting her weaving studies in Porvoo. Most of Gullichsen’s designs are born out of experimenting with different techniques, and consist of bold and simple patterns, natural materials, and a down-to-earth sensibility which can be used with both modern and traditional interiors. Her style is all about comfort, color and ease of use in the modern landscape.
