Ulrika on prints
“There’s just something about prints – the magic of colours and forms flowing endlessly across a surface. I think it’s that sense of infinity that’s always fascinated me. Each print has its own pace and rhythm, and to me, they’re alla piece of magic. No matter where I look – in nature, art, or architecture – I see patterns forming. Once I’m happy with the shapes and flow of a new print, it’s time to create the repeat. A good repeat is essential! A print should move gracefully across the surface, without your eye getting stuck on one spot, shape, or even the empty spaces in between. This part often takes hours (and hours!) of shifting elements around until everything feels just right. Then comes colour. I spend a lot of time choosing the perfect palette. I love colour – bright, bold, joyful – but it must always be balanced - never overwhelming.” - Ulrika Gyllstad
Lyckoklöver
Lyckoklöver is an ode to endless Swedish summers – simple flowers of the meadow, precious light & blue skies. It’s also a tribute to Ulrikas childhood, the four-leaf clover has always been a present symbol to her. As a little girl, Ulrikas room was wallpapered in a green clover print and her first silver necklace had a four-leaf clover charm. This print was probably always there at the back of her mind, waiting to be reborn.
Snäckor
Anyone who's captivated by the sea and underwater life probably has a soft spot for shells – and we’re no exception! Their beautiful shapes and colors never stop fascinating us.
Lotus
As a young girl, Ulrika’s father would sometimes pick Water Lilies for her from the small river near their home. She found them fascinating. Many years later, during her time in Asia, she became captivated by the Lotus flower. Both blooms fascinate her with their floating, fan-shaped leaves and delicate beauty. The Lotus carries a deep symbolism of purity, renewal, and rebirth.
Bladverk
This print is Ulrika’s vision of looking into the bustling foliage of lush, deep greenery. Bladverk captures the feeling of being immersed in nature, where light and shadow dance through the leaves.
Drömmar
The soft rounded swirls of Ulrika’s print Drömmar makes you think of clouds or waves at sea. The inspiration for this print, Ulrika says, mainly came from wooden cuts of the Japanese region Kamigata/Edo. These wooden cuts were popular and common in Japan in the 18:th and 19:th centuries and have become an endless source of inspiration to Ulrika.
Barr
Barr is one of Ulrika's very first prints, a design she originally created back in design school. It’s a calm, organic, and versatile print with a touch of retro charm.
Fiskar
The inspiration for Ulrika's print Fiskar came from her very first snorkeling trip in tropical waters. From that moment on, a whole new world opened to her, and life beneath the surface has been one of her greatest sources of inspiration ever since.
Gömställe
This print came to Ulrika after a stroll through one of Stockholm’s lovely parks. It was springtime, and little birds were nestled in the trees and bushes, filling the air with their hopeful songs. Gömställe has become one of Ulrikas most popular and well-known prints.
Solar
No need for too many words – we love the sun, and the Solar print brings pure & sunny joy.
Delta
Delta is a blend of two inspirations – one being the intricate patterns left in the sand as the tide recedes, the other, the delicate, lace-like structure of a Fan Coral, one of Ulrika’s treasured snorkeling discoveries.
Korall
Many years ago, Ulrika got a microscope as a gift from her father-in-law. Through it, she discovered a whole new microcosmos, sparking a fascination that still inspires her today. She often uses her microscope to take a closer look at seeds, seed pods, leaves, and more. Korall is one of the prints that emerged from these tiny, hidden worlds.
Rand
Classic block stripes never go out of style. This is Ulrika’s take on the ultimate stripe. Pair them with your favorite prints for a fresh & effortless look.
Stenar
At some point, we’ve all collected pebbles at the beach – irresistible, soft, smooth, and perfectly shaped by the sand and sea. Ulrika did too, and she turned them into this organic yet graphic print called Stenar.
