The Eldblomman wallpaper
One of Josef Frank’s most beloved wallpaper designs has now been reintroduced in a new, spring-like shade of green. In the Eldblomman pattern, a sturdy stem runs diagonally upwards, entwined with a delicate flowering climber. The fine spiral lines and tiny blossoms provide a graceful counterbalance to the bold, structured composition.
Josef Frank always designed patterns with a clear purpose. He never repurposed textile patterns for wallpaper, nor wallpaper designs for fabric, ensuring that each motif had a distinct and thoughtful application. All his wallpapers were created around 1947 and were given evocative, poetic names such as Sagoträdet (The Fairytale Tree), Eldblomman (The Fire Blossom), Stjärnmattan (The Starry Carpet), Vårklockor (Spring Bells), Söndagsmorgon (Sunday Morning), and Paradiset (Paradise).
