Feathr, the home of artisan wallpaper, has collaborated with renowned Finnish designer Johanna Gullichsen, making her classic fabric designs available as wallpaper for the first time. Two Johanna Gullichsen designs – Nereus and Raita – are the first to be reimagined by Feathr in a Scandinavian wallpaper style and are offered in a stunning range of classic and contemporary colours.

Since 1989, Johanna Gullichsen Textile Craft & Design has been committed to honest design and a modern interpretation of Scandinavian textile traditions. Bold and simple patterns, natural materials, a down to earth sensibility – her style is all about comfort, colour and ease-of-use. Her designs can be combined either with modern or traditional interiors. Johanna Gullichsen has built a reputation as one of Finland’s most sought after designers.
Finnish interiors start-up Feathr works with a community of internationally acclaimed contemporary artists to design and produce designer wallpaper and wall murals. Combining a unique and diverse artist portfolio, fresh design and technical innovation, Feathr has quickly built a global reputation as an exciting and innovative design house.

The new collaboration features designs that represent Johanna Gullichsen’s distinctive design style. The “Nereus” geometric wallpaper has a clear and rhythmical pattern constructed of squares and blocks, whilst the “Raita” striped wallpaper celebrates the subtle, organic stripe that forms the backdrop to “Nereus”. Both designs elevate their structured geometric form by retaining organic, uneven lines that reflect Gullichsen’s original handweaving on the loom.

The two wallpapers are cleverly designed to be used both independently and side by side, with perfectly complementary design features and colour schemes. Both designs come in a matching range of colours including classic Pearl, Alabaster and Light Blue, along with rich Ochre and Dark Blue.

Johanna Gullichsen commented, “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.”
Tom Puukko, Founder of Feathr commented, “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 introduce her designs to a whole new audience.”
