Sophia forslund
Designer based in torsby, sweden
Hi! I’m Sophia and I’m a textile and pattern designer from Torsby, Sweden. My studio is located by a lake in the countryside of Värmland where I love to create big floral patterns and indulge in 70s aesthetics.
Most of my work is made by hand, with pen and paper, and I enjoy trying different medias to find new expressions.
I find bold colors and maximalism inspiring and the opportunity to transform ideas into objects that’ll enhance experiences.
I’m also the creator and owner of Forslundska Form where you can find e.g pillow cases, fabric by the meter and ornaments.
